I just took the test today and received an 86%. How well is this score to be called soon for the position? What’s the passing rate for these exams? And does anyone know if I can negotiate a higher starting rate? I’m an operator for high pressure steam plant in NJ and don’t know if it’s even worth me leaving for the starting rate in NYC.
Does anyone here work as a HPPT? I’m trying to find out what type of schedule they work on. Is it 8 hour shifts or rotating 12s like the DuPont system?
TL;DR Should I live in NYC or Beach life in NJ?
Im a native NYer who recently moved back to NYC for a job which pays well. I was previously living on the beach in New Jersey for the past 4-5 years. I grew up in NYC and thought coming back for this job would be great. I’m regretting it. I miss the beach life. It’s peaceful and quiet. And locals around that area are much friendlier. I am considering quitting this current job in NYC to move back to the beach life. Getting back my old job in NJ is no issue, it’s a union job and my employer and union want me to return. $50/hr NYC (high stress, high pay) or $33/hr NJ (No stress Low pay). Btw I get health and retirement benefits for both.
