Hi all, I am a civil engineer with 9 years experience. I’ve had my PE for 5 years, and have worked as a water and wastewater distribution/collection design engineer for my whole career. I’ve worked for 3 consulting firms - one small, one medium, one giant; I am coming to realize that I think I just hate consulting. I love doing the actual engineering work but it seems that regardless of what firm you’re at you need to move into management to progress in your career. Anyone else navigating this?
