Interesting video. Yep - you picked the wrong group. Mid size is definitely better in early days but you need to ensure there are enough strong seniors to mentor you. Also, be open to overseas roles. You are never too early and the experience can be life changing. Being a great engineer is only half the "clubs in your bag". I encourage you to also understand the business. MBA is handy for that. Consulting is just a business, it just happens that engineering is the business. Build real relationships with potential clients (not just other engineers). Remember, the smartest engineers can be hired, but people who bring in work are like gold.

Having in depth inspections experience right out of college/“uni” is one of the best experiences a young engineer can have - you will understand and learn what is done, how, and why so much more by watching people actually install designs (especially bad ones) than by designing straight out of school.

Thank you for the in-depth analysis of your reasons for leaving the job. For me too it's very important to have a variety of real world experience and feedbacks that are the best motivator for me to continuously improve myself. Great video and very helpful!

Employers want robots, especially in big places. I left my desk job at a multifacility healthcare clinic because it required no critical thinking skills, no imagination, and it was all a cyclic routine. It was more of an endurance "act like you're doing something" job. I was compensated for showing up, and not how much work I could do. When I left everyone was shocked and confused, including my family, but they themselves live cyclic lives like that, and they saw/see it as abnormal. I just finished my first year of CAD, I'm moving into my second half this fall. I eventually plan to pursue structural engineering and surveying.

You've touched on an interesting point about the structural engineering field, specifically that we are far away from the business side of the project, and in my opinion, there is no way to change that. However, it will be great to know your view about that. Do you believe there's a pathway for us to become more involved in the business aspects of our projects? I really like business.
@BEngHielscher Жыл бұрын
There’s definitely ways to get more involved in the business side of things as an engineer but at big companies I’ve seen becoming more involved in that side usually coming at the expense of being involved technically. While at small companies it is way more likely that you will be involved in both simultaneously :)

can you make tutorial of analysis, design and detailing of different structures by using the software's, it would be beneficial a lot. btw your videos are very informative.

Hi, I was wondering did you find there was much of a difference in salary between the global consultancy and the smaller company?

It’s basically the same. Could be a different story at the more senior levels but for junior roles there’s not much of a difference
