Hey guys, I’ve been in the telecommunications industry for over 10 years with an emphasis on infrastructure cabling specializing in fiber and copper applications in both OSP/ISP capacities. I’m looking to transition to into a project engineer/manager position. Preferable remotely. Any advice or tips on where to start? I am BICSI and Fiber certified.

What position are you looking for? Currently, the industry has taken a very hard hit this last year, especially on the Tower Install side of things for carrier deployment. The future looks like a massive expansion for backhaul for fiber to cell sites and home/business. Depending where you are in the country, I would look into finding a job with a company that provides Arial and underground fiber services. Good luck in your future endeavors.

However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.
