Tell me about it... I've got more letters than I know what to do with. Seems almost counter productive.

Are there a lot of Energy Services work in Florida? A CEM and BEAP from Florida post back-to-back...

I passed. What should I do with the hundreds of dollars of reference materials, calculators, tabbed folders, etc that I have put together? No one to pass it on to...

What salary level would you put someone in the south? ME w/ 4 yrs experience in the industry? I've been at a few different places in my career and am very happy with my company. I think that's worth something, but not everyone puts value on the same thing?

I asked for lower $70k and they came back with $67k which is enough to keep me around. I'm sure I can get paid more if I moved , but there is the added cost of starting over with a new firm. I'm happy with where I am, and that's really the question. Will you be happy with the offer they come...

Well, I know I've been under compensated. I'm going to use this as an opportunity to adjust that. I really don't want to go shopping for new work, but I have 4 yrs of experience in Energy Services. Before that I was in manufacturing for 3 yrs. No actual HVAC design though. I'm located in...

Well I was at $44k a year ago. Again very low I know, but took a job in the middle of the recession when I needed it. I was there for two years. $55k was a big jump then, but I know it wasn't correct. Either way, at $55k I figured I was due for more than a 5% bump. Plus extra certifications...

I know there are a lot of threads about money that have been around for a long time. But I'm kind of weird and believe in firing up a new thread rather than going back to one that just won't die. Anyway, I passed the Oct 2013 PE exam. I work for an Arch/ Engr firm in the Energy Services...
