Job Advice please

Hopefully you will get an offer that you can live with. Good luck, Knoxville.


Side note:
In 1981, the fastest factory production vehicle (including a Corvette) made was a pickup truck. LOL.

Wow.... I haven't checked this post for a few days and it blew up. Sorry people, I was looking for advice and things got into a pissing contest.


I went Friday for a 2nd interview with the V.P. of the company. He also owns most of the company. He was a real down to earth kind of guy. I related to everything he said and nothing went over my head. I was pleased with the interview (about an hour). I did like the incentive program. He is starting to incorporate incentives into the projects people take on. In other words, if your project is good and the return investments hold up and the profit is there, then you get cut a bonus check based on a percent of return. Not a bad deal in my opinion. Right now, I don't receive anything. I'm working on a project right now that has the possiblity to be a $200,000 cost savings/yr. I wish I could get 1% of that. The V.P. offered to move me to the town, which is only 40 miles away, but still cool in my book. He said that he has to contact the other Manufacturing Engineers and speak with them on the subject. This week he will let me know one way or another and if there is an offer, it will be in the mail. No salary numbers were specified, but he did say that they have an average turn over rate of about 7 yrs. I asked how they keep their turnover rate that high and he said that he likes to pay people well enough to where no one will think about leaving for more money. Sounds good to me. Here where I work, turnover rate is about 6 months. The only thing that I can do right now is wait. I'm going to take the offer if it's decent. I'm looking to be right around 50,000$/yr + incentives + gain sharing and profit sharing. Not bad in my opinion for one year out of school. I will definitely be ahead of my peers for a little while. Thanks for the comments and I will keep you all posted on the job.

Good to hear, if the money's right as you say take the job;)

Hey Primal - What kind of truck was that?

[Knoxville]

I accepted the job offer for my other job. I will take home about another 400$/month, benefits are better and cost less. I'm going to get a place in town with my brother and spend the money that would be spent on gas on rent. Thanks for the advice people.
