    I got hired on really cheap out of college, learned a certain trade by one of the best in the business, and now I'm one of very few that can manipulate certain 3d software in my field. Pure luck honestly.

    The guy that trained me is making $150 an hour.. +time and a half. I'm not making no where near that yet...

    So yes, I'm right at the point I'm starting ball... DFWMustang style.
    And you live next to the biggest fucking wack job recneck in all of North Texas?

        So new hire is way different than an established professional. What 3D software is it you use btw?

        That 10% will slow down soon...

          He's getting 21% annual increases, which is 5% more than 20%.

            Yeah I suspect it will slow down again. I'm honestly pretty happy with what I make now, just don't tell my boss that.

              LOL yep... I still live like a "broke dick" compared to most of my co-workers. Everyone has $500k houses, riding around brand new king ranches pulling big ass boats, and driving there Aston Martins on Fridays. Either that or they have 30 corvettes.

              Where as I have have a 230k house, and all my cars are 2003 and older.

                cadworx(autocad), pms, pdms, microstation, smart plant. PDMS is where most of the money is at.

                  Industrial engineering? And your Trainer makes well over 312K a year? Maybe in with the wrong company but none of that sounds right...

                    Mainly offshore oil and gas rigs. He makes well over 312k a year. If he doesn't at least work a 60 hour week he is going to a different company. I worked with him for a while two years ago and they were juggling around money trying to avoid taxes. He was working 98 hour weeks for 3-4 months while I was there helping out.

                    I work 55-60's myself. I haven't worked a week under 50 since last Christmas.

                    EDIT:

                    If you know basics of PDMS you make 6 figures, that's just a standard in the industry. "If you don't make 250k a year, you aren't doing it right." I'm not making that much so I'm doing it wrong.

Promotions and such are great, but when promotions come they are almost always with a low increase. Lateral moves stack the cash. So it makes perfect sense to move around from company to company, until you get where you want to be, then go for the promotion.


                          This is what I'd do, if I wasn't in the position I'm in.
                          That's what I did. The job hopping of sorts kinda sucked but I'm beyond thrilled where I am.

                          Leaving Houston now, and if this deal comes through by the end of the year, it's choooo$$$$$$$$$ CHOOOOOOOO$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!111one
