    Do I take this opportunity?

    In terms of stagnation, ABSOLUTELY! They have to hire someone to replace you before you can move on, which in your case would mean a significant percentage increase to the overhead. The other issue is if you become very good at your job, then it's in their interests to keep you there...

    Do I take this opportunity?

    It sounds like this is a sales & service company... is it? I work for a smallish engineered mechanical products sales & service company (~100 ppl in the USA , around 10-15 per branch). I'm one of the only degreed engineers in the company... I work applications (design the equipment we...

    CA Reference Needed for Exam

    Well if you've worked solely in manufacturing, it seems pretty straight forward to me... I imagine the fact that some of your references will be licensed will certainly be in your favor though. Double check with the board, but this is how I read it:

    funny pic thread

    Pretty much, they do have a few locals using it for longer term parking, to use on weekends, but most are working in the area, driving in and out from Long Island/Jersey, mostly predictable. Last storm the lots were pretty much shut, with only a few cars left behind.

    Another view... I think they were attaching some chains to avoid crushing both cars under the Mercedes :D

    funny pic thread

    Nothing so elaborate. The trays move up and down, there are smaller two level ones on hydraulics, these taller ones are on cables. The attendants do the work for you, you just have to tip em nicely should you come back earlier than you said! Most of these places are only semi-permanent, the...

    Saw this on the way to work. I thought it was funny... BMW owner probably won't when he tries to get home before the blizzard tonight

    References for T&F

    Thanks for the comments guys. I bought the ASHRAE manual because I felt the MERM was a bit light on those topics, and given I've never worked in this area, it might be good to have a second source to fill the gaps, I bought the 2005 one dirt cheap off ebay, so it didn't break the bank. I think I...

    First job, any advice?

    I recommend you keep a logbook (digitally, hardcopy, whatever) of all the projects you are involved in, the clients, contacts, etc... keep business cards if you get them and put them in your log and write down what you did with/for those individuals. Write down what tasks you did, in engineering...

    References for T&F

    I will be eligible to apply for the PE exam next month and I'm preparing my references early so I can be intimately familiar with them all this October. After some thought on which discipline I should choose, I'm leaning towards T&F. My HVAC knowledge is not deep, and MERM doesn't appear to...

    Deciding Between TF & MD

    The 2010 exams are the exact same questions as the 2008 books, just broken up by afternoon session. So now you have to buy 3 books if you want all the questions. The morning session is the same across all three.

    LEED

    Only problem is with the specialty hours. Only six approved LEED specific hours in free webinar format exist as of today (Ingersoll Rand/Trane webinars). Works for the first cycle. I hope more come along in two years.
