Virginia wins first place in boring seal design

Are you still looking. Candidates with your background (LV/MV, ITS, SCADA, FA/FP and a PE) would be walking on water where I am. The job market is very strange and polarized. Jobs demand is high in some areas but extremely hard to fill due to high COL. Some popular states (CA, TX) are...

I would probably study for both and go from there. Having a PE in either field on resume is a plus. Good luck with your exam preparation!

Fluke pen for size comparison. I can't read the print anymore (too small).

I'd keep up with CE credits in electrical to maintain the electrical PE. Some general CEs (such as state mandated ethics or contracting courses might be applicable to all fields and certain will be useful in transportation as well.

Would love to connect/discuss topics related to DC (data center) design, resiliency and power requirements (vs actual usage).

wow you guys made me feel really old... Perhaps I am the oldest PE taker (passed on first try but much later in my career when I realize I do need PE).

I took School of PE and it worked for me (passed on first try). It's a painful 6 weeks but it worked. Good luck!

I got a waiver from MD. I passed my PE there.

Did not know some states won't honor FE waiver even if you already passed the PE, which is a national exam. That's very silly/strange. Glad my work/position only requires a PE from any state!

I was in similar case as yours (many years out of school without the FE), never planned to focus in engineering fiedd but opportunities send me right into it. I opted to take my PE exam at a neighboring state, where the Board would allow me to sit for the PE exam without FE (I must submit proof...

I practice martial arts (been doing it for almost 15 years) and collect scale model cars. Also enjoy traveling, cooking and gardening.

Congrats on passing the FE. Good luck in preparing for the PE. Some states in the US would waive the FE if you have been out of school for a long time, and you can show your related engineering work. The state boards would review your past work/projects and determine granting permission to...

FPEs are hard to find these days. Best of luck!

Check the top 25 EAC/CM firms career pages (I work for one of them). Most of them are hiring and some positions are even remote. Agreed with previous poster - networking is crucial and everyone is connected.

Where are you located? And what industries are these companies you talked to? Around here (VA/DC/MD area), the range for 10+ years of exp engineers, with PE, would be 120K-150K.

SKM, ETAP or EasyPower training?

Due to labor shortage, I start seeing some employers tapping into the part-time on-call pool. Have you looked into that?

What prep courses did you take? School of PE worked well for me. Do not get discouraged. I would take some time off before pushing re-test. Try to rack up a few more years of experience (and if possible, broaden your experience from the areas you have been working in) before trying it again...
