I'm a commercial superintendent, made 120k last year with bonus

In south Louisiana? That’s pretty good money. We didn’t pay near that much with that last company I worked for.

I will say the hours suck. We build schools and it's rare that I work less than 60 hour weeks. Most weeks it's more like 65-70. Has gotten as high as 90 when I was on summer remodel work

These were my hours as a commercial PM. I work 4-10s now, but I’m usually at work for closer to 4-12s, and I’m okay with that because I’m home Fridays. Sometimes it’s more, outages or issues and I’m at work for weekends or more. But still nothing like my hours in construction. And for significantly less money in construction. Significantly.
