    Severance bonus

    OK, So I accepted an offer with another company to start probably in next 4-8 weeks (still haven't decided). Today my current company announced that fiscal year is ending in 2-1/2 weeks and we are doing very well and that there will likely be a large bonus payout. (maybe 6-7% of salary) Only...

    Second Interview question

    OK, time for an update. Had the 2nd interview and got the offer. Offer was more than I expected, but less than what I am making now. (I have a lot of reasons to want to work for this company so that I was willing to take a pay cut). I was completely up front with the HR manager about my...

    Second Interview question

    So, does anyone have any experience with hiring bonuses? "I have had my results for a long time, but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them." Karl Friedrich Gauss

    Second Interview question

    Thanks everyone for your responses. I had my interview yesterday with the engineering manager and the HR manager (both had interviewed me before). I spent the 2 days before with an interview preparation book which helped a lot. There are 2 other candidates, but I should receive an offer in a...

    Second Interview question

    So is it typical for salary negotiations to be made face to face and if so, who would that person be with? In the past, I have had 2 jobs, both fairly entry-level, had offers ofter one interview and took what they were offering, so I have never done negotiating. I am fairly certain that I will...

    Second Interview question

    I guess nothing would stop me from asking HR. I didn't think about it. I guess I will do that. Thanks for the advice. "I have had my results for a long time, but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them." Karl Friedrich Gauss

    Am I gaining the right type of experience to move forward as an ME?

    I have a mechanical engineering degree with 6 years experience as a manufacturing engineer. I do CNC programming, purchasing justifications, etc. That's the extent of the math. I also order tooling, do ISO audits, 6S audits, make work instructions, etc., but little "hard core" engineering. I...

    The Y1936 Problem

    Here is an interesting article. Actually, this website has many interesting scientific/engineering articles. http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/it/2000/3/2000_3_64.shtml "I have had my results for a long time, but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them." Karl Friedrich...

    Women in the workplace...

    kmtswims, First of all, I think there is no excuse for genuine sexual harrassment. Before my wife and I were married she worked at a place where someone who was married kept telling her that he loved her, wanted to marry her, wanted to have kids with her, wanted her to go out with him, etc...

    Relocation/job change value

    I took a job three months out of school with the only company that would give me an offer. Got laid off after 6 months and had two offers within a couple weeks. Took the better one for an 18% raise. Since then, I have been getting 4-5% per year. Agree with lostsailor that your best chance of...

    Definition of an Engineer

    Corey, In my post about the Eng-Tips members, I was assuming this thread applied to the broad definition of engineers: those who are doing engineering work, degreed engineers, engineering professionals (whatever that difference may be), and licensed PE's. I was not referring to PE's only since...

    Definition of an Engineer

    Well then, since we still haven't figured out what an engineer is/does, maybe you can explain what engineering professionals are/do. "I have had my results for a long time, but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them." Karl Friedrich Gauss
