    Salary raise after passing PE exam

    yep there's a reason companies don't want employees discussing salaries. i like these discussions on EB.com as it sheds a little light on what our peers are being paid. though there are so many factors to consider (location, benefits, working environment, etc.) that you get a pretty fuzzy...

    when i took the APR 2014 exam my table partner was like this, huffing and sighing and throwing materials around. about halfway through the afternoon portion he just stopped and sat there with his hands folded, looking pissed off. it was weird that he didn't get up and leave but at least he was...

    Pipe Stress Engineers

    i did pipe stress engineering for 8 years, almost exclusively B31.1 and Section I boiler piping in Caesar II. i agree with Ramnares it's fun and rewarding work. i miss it. haven't done it since i took a position with a different company as a Project Engineer. good luck getting into it SMOTT.

    that could be the case but there are other factors to consider. some players play with a chip on their shoulder when they're in the opponent's house, maybe his receivers play a bit tougher for away games? Foxborough is an open stadium with inclement weather, maybe Brady plays better when he's...

    When/how to ask for a raise after getting the good news of passing the PE exam

    When/how to ask for a raise after getting the good news of passing the PE exam

    check out the ASCE/ASME salary survey (the latest one i personally have is from 2012). it shows a pretty decent fluctuation in salary based on geographic region. varies from a low of $86K (Upper Mountain region) to a high of $108K (Pacific Southwest). this is a sample of engineers across all...

    i thought danny shelton was going to break goodell in half! if i had played by my rules i would have been blasted by the 15th pick. a few talking on the phone but the copious bro hugs would have done me in.
