So I recently learned about the Boston Molasses Disaster. Apparently, due to a lack of oversight, some giant molasses storage unit exploded into a wave that flooded the streets of Boston with millions of gallons of molasses causing massive damage to people and property. How crazy is that?? What are other historic engineering accidents worth looking into?

If you had 30 minutes to look at a CIM what would you look for?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

I️ am pursuing a Product Management Internship in Big Tech for next summer. I️ am comfortable reaching out to people to network and know who to reach out to. However, I️ have not found the convos to be all that helpful. Any advice on how to make these convos useful?

It's really strange to me how radiation can both cause cancer (melanoma) and also be used to treat various cancers

What’s the most I can spend on mattress?

Thoughts on Sauvage EDP? I really like it but it seems so strong to me

My long term mentor was just diagnosed with cancer and is at the hospital recovering from surgery. What can I send him to show genuine care and appreciation for everything he has done for me? Age ~50

Mattress suggestions please! We are side sleepers and prefer firm mattresses in general. Most mattresses seem to offer 100+ days trial, but how has the return process been? We are worried that it might take a couple trials to find the most suitable one but not sure if the return process is as convenient and hassle free as all the websites claim.

Lateraling to a new firm shortly (haven't given notice yet). Do I need to file a motion to withdraw for cases where my name is on the filings, but just the firm is formally named on the Entry of Appearance (and will continue to represent the client)?

Anyone willing to turn the networking mode on? Would love to meet fellow consultants.

Anyone have advice on a home fitness gym? Have a spare room 12x11 that I’m thinking of putting a power rack and rower in.

Hi! I had no idea this bowl existed until an Account Director at work told me about it today!!! I always thought I was the only sober one in this industry! Im so glad that there are more of you. 😅💓

Is 121,000 as a software manager (Washington DC) underpaid?

My brilliant team is being dissolved. My team is what made the work so enjoyable, not the job itself. I’m feeling pretty…stunned, I guess, and nervous about going through this again in the future.

What are some locations with the highest demands for engineers?

I just got a new job, but it's not what I expected. I was expecting a career opportunity and a chance to learn and grow in my field, but instead I'm stuck doing the same thing as before, just from home.

I’m a recent grad struggling to look after my health when I’m stuck in a cubicle 10+ hours a day. How do you juggle a healthy lifestyle with long hours at a desk?

If I start a full-time position as a Product Engineer, what salary should I expect within the Metro-Detroit Area?

Electrical engineers, what is the minimum salary I should consider after a few years of work?

I’m thinking about accepting a job at Gulfstream in Savannah, GA. Does anyone know the pay range of Gulfstream? The posting is for a Engineer Technical Specialist 1

Any Bridge Engineers/Structural Engineers in here? I got my PE this year and have 5 YOE in TX + an MS. What sort of raise would you expect for receiving your PE working in a consulting firm? I am EOR on a number of structures in development, I manage EITs and Drafters (within projects; I'm not a supervisor), and am doing a lot in general. I'm at 78k currently, which is apparently still in the upper range of EIT salaries per a job posting in CO. I'm thinking of 15% (5% merit, 10% PE). Any ideas?

Considering switching to a hybrid or fully WFH position, does anyone here have a role like that? What are some of the pros/cons?

How difficult is it to switch from civil engineering to electrical engineering?

I currently working as project coordinator (on-site) for 3 months 10hrs everyday with package $75k, I want to move to remote or hybrid work but I only have 8 months of experience from my previous employer and I have completed my master's in construction management in 2021. Should I stay in my role a bit longer to gain experience or I am not able to find remote or hybrid matching my profile. Your advice and comments are much appreciated.

What is your engineering field and how do you see it changing over the next 5 years?

Engineering influencers to follow?

Is it worth pursuing a management position coming from being an engineer? What is your opinion on trying to go this route?

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?

Thomas J. Watson (IBM) said "the way to succeed is to double your failure rate" and that's always stuck with me

Do you ever find that you talk to people outside of engineering about your job and they have no idea what you're talking about?

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

I've noticed that the engineers keep their mouths shut whenever they're asked for feedback, but when they're alone, they talk about how much they wish they could change management.

Why is that?

I don't know if anyone can answer this. But how much do most civil engineers make? There are so many conflicting reports about "overpaid consultants" and it's almost impossible to get an actual answer
