Hello!
I am currently a substation design electrical engineer 1.

I am making $71k a year from a large Consulting firm.

I have a bachelors and masters degree in Electrical Engineering. I have passed the FE & PE exams, I am an EIT, and I have a year of experience outside of school. Three internships as an engineer while I was in school.

I feel like I am underpaid and would like to know the thoughts of others. I feel undervalued in comparison to what other companies over that do the same work.

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.

I earned my degree in Human Resources Management about 4 years ago while working as an Corporate Relations Analyst. I am now a Workforce Management Analyst but I desperately have been trying to pivot into HR since obtaining my degree. My biggest concern is not suffering a pay cut to start at the very bottom. My soft skills are immaculate; very quick learner. I truly cannot afford to take anything less than 70k. Any suggestions?

I say I left my firm because of pay, but I left it because of how black the place made me feel…( think confusing me with the only other black woman).

I left an agency where I’d been working with a toxic boss for almost a decade. One year into my new job it’s clear my new boss is just the same. New boss doesn’t listen, undermines me, blames me constantly, regularly picks on me in front of coworkers while they pile on and treat me like persona non grata. I can’t sleep. I choke back tears almost every day trying to figure out what I did and unsuccessfully trying to avoid disapproval. Am I just unlucky, or is it me? Am I inviting this behavior?

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
