Uh Oh Guys!!! Looks like we have a tree pattern! Termite flag imminent!! 🌳🪾

Everyone sell everything and then buy everything again!!! The tree pattern represents that tomorrow it might go up or down but at the end of the day the FED will inflate the f*ck out of the almighty dollar.

If you hold cash you’re LOSING! Buy commodities and tell all of your friends and family because this is it guys. Even if AI manages to “save” the economy, it will only result in high concentrated GDP for a small percentage of the population, high unemployment and loss of purchasing power.

We all have a small amount of time to secure our loved ones. 3? 5? 10 years? Who knows but the longer the better. This is it boys brace yourself for the history books.

Hey everyone!

I’m currently a distribution engineer ($95K) working on feeder design, utility-scale solar interconnections (\\\~10 MVA), line extensions, transformer sizing, etc.

I enjoy the work and feel like I’m building strong power systems experience. I’m also about 2 years away from my PE.

I have another opportunity for a facilities engineering role:

more focused on maintaining/upgrading building electrical systems, higher pay ($120-125K), hybrid schedule 9/80, but \\\~3 hr round trip commute (only 3x/week)

My priorities are getting my PE, build strong transferable technical skills and also grow a side business outside of work.

Would you stay in utility/power systems for broader experience? Or take the higher-paying facilities role with more flexibility but a long commute, and work that I’m a little less passionate about?

Realistically with maintenance & gas, I will be spending an extra $500/month with the 3x commute throughout the week.
