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...

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...

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

How about this? http://members.comics.com/members/common/affiliateArchive.do;jsessionid=cUIsjjnAcdn7?site=fayetteville&comicId=&comic=dilbert&stripId=276682 "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

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...

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...

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

I am being called in fpr a second interview at a company for an application engineering position. The first onsite interviews were with the HR manager, plant owner, engineering manager, applications engineering manager, and the application engineers. I am in my second job and both of those I...

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...

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...

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...

Do you mean a rubber ink stamp or a steel stamp or what? "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

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...

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...

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

Engineers spend countless hours in Eng-Tips. Applies to all fields of engineering. Excludes non-engineers. How can anyone argue with that? "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

So Ashereng, Do you think it is possible to arrive at such a definition as diverse a group as we are? Obviously we would have to find a definition that applies to all engineers and excludes all other professions. What is the common denominator for engineers? I think that it would have to be...

My company practices "continuous flow" within a cell. For example, we have two cnc lathes, one VMC and three gear shapers in the same cell. Rather than run the first lathe op, then the second, then the mill, etc., we set up all the machines and run the parts continuously through the machines...

Getting back to the original post, I have a feeling that most of you haven’t given tours to groups of school kids in your workplace, because most of your clichés and one-liners would make the average person even more oblivious to what engineers do. Remember who the audience is. My simple...

I just got done reading the "Five Year Update" thread and that got me thinking of my own situation and I am wondering about switching engineering fields. I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree six years ago. I didn't do any relevant internship during college because of where I am...
