@A1, I agree that these skills are important wherever you go, but I also feel like I would be happier and have more opportunity to succeed in a career path where said skills are less emphasized.

required in consulting (diplomacy, decks, PMO, management) are things I find intensely draining compared to the building/tinkering I did as an engineer.

You will also find that the further you progress in your career, the more these “soft skills” become increasingly important. I wouldn’t give up on them completely

There are some consulting roles that are highly technical. Mine is. Perhaps a search on roles requiring a math/ computer science/ engineering degree would help you.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
