NEW JOB! Possible Effects on my CC Activity
Posted: Tue Dec 10, 2013 1:02 am
EDIT:
Well, it didn't take long once I passed my PE for it to pay off! I was contacted over the holidays by a company I've worked with in my current position and they offered me a job with them at a much better salary and much shorter commute. I've just committed to take them up on the offer after negotiating a raise for myself , so I'll be starting there in a few weeks.
I'm not sure how this will affect my current activity level of near-twenty-four-seven forum monitoring, since I will be out at job sites a lot more and less able to just pop up a browser window to check in on things.
However, with the shorter commute (15 mins instead of 1 hour), I should have more free time to build after work and will hopefully still be able to reply to people promptly either after work or via my phone.
The increased salary (34% raise!) should also enable me to feed my habit more than adequately, so I'm pretty excited!
I'll keep you all posted as to how things are going once I'm switched over. Wish me luck!

I shared this info on Flickr a few days ago, but for those of you who either don't use Flickr or don't follow me,
I found out that I passed my Civil Engineer Licensing Exam! I am now a licensed civil engineer in Washington State, and will soon have my own stamp and snazzy wall certificate.
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me while I was prepping for the test! We have such a great community here, and I'm proud to be a part of it.
