How do you feel about your job?

[Godwynn]

I'm currentlt working on the Engineering department of a steel company... pretty cool job, I get to travel alot and have a multi-million dollars budget for projects (I don't have autonomy over the budget, but the directors usually go with what the Engineering dept says).

The salary is OK, but I know I could be making much more in the financial sector where most of my college colleagues work.

Are you finished with school? Thinking of leaving Brazil?

Last period of college, so I can work as a trainee.

Leaving Brazil always pops into my mind when I start reading the newspapers too much, and since the company I'm currently working for is british and with operations in over 40 countries I have plenty of chances of doing it without even losing my job.

But the steel sector is booming in Brazil right now (as is the financial sector, the place I would work if I left my job) so it might be a bad move to leave soon. But I reckon I'll do it sooner or later, it's a matter of gathering enough courage.

Just a side note, a lot of large US Engineering companies are trying to get their US workers to spend a few years in Brazil, and they get paid like kings for it. My bro-in-law is weighing offers that will have him live 2-5 years in Sao Paulo, with a 6 figure US salary, and the company pays for a trip home every month (or for a friend to come down there). After the 5 year contract, you go back to the states.

I think the odds are pretty good that he and my sister are going to do it eventually. The perks they get are great.

1 DJ each weekend, the club is the star & it's the music that makes it shine. Playing upfront stuff that catches our ears, we also cover older, equally fresh tunes that rule. We hit the funk, rare groove, true house, soul, hip-hop, jazz, lush disco, reggae, significant R&B, northern soul & worldwide block-rocking beats. We also do Madge & any other credible artist or track we dig.

that is the EXACT line up of tunes i spin these days...
i am not the Soul Warrior for naught

Yep, plenty of foreign engineers around here. There is currently a lack of qualified engineers, since most engineering-related sectors are growing faster than the universities' capacity to graduate new engineers.

The salaries for brazilian engineers are also increasing rather fast, which is why it might be stupid for me to leave right now.

What I like about my job isn't so much the work I do (which is mostly answering phones and making photocopies) but my huge amount of downtime, and what they let me do with it(which is why I post here so much during the day).

I'm a manager at a small nut stand in the mall. Hey, I'm only 16. Being a manager at the place I've worked for a year is rewarding.
