Working for an engineering firm is for the fricking birds.
Just my .02
Tons of hours
Tons of stress
Much better jobs out there IMO
Agreed. You are either facing absurd work loads or losing your job when there is a downturn and more than half of the staff is let go. Few jobs have less stability.

Congrats. The work I do is not bureaucratic enough to need that though.

This is exactly why I started my own firm. I felt less in control of my workload when working for others than I do now working for myself. That and I damn-near tripled my income.

What is the name of your firm, if u don't mind me asking?
If u don't want to say that's cool. Just curious because I work for a consulting firm and I have been having entrepreneurial thoughts lately.

I'd email you the link to the website if you've got a burner email address I can send it to. Everyone on this board seems cool, it's the OT detectives I'm more worried about.
