I'm significantly underpaid, with 7 YOE. I'm trying to change jobs in a way that's good for career progression. The biggest thing holding me up is that I haven't sealed anything yet - will have a few storm drainage structures and some bridges by the end of the year, then around fall 2024 I'll have a few more bridges.

Is it worth sitting through until then to get a new job? Just worried I won't have enough fully delivered projects on my resume when it comes to marketing (not job-hunting). Thanks

With 7 years of experience I think you can start looking. Waiting for those projects to be done aren’t going to give you too much edge.

Come South. We've got some opportunities.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
