How close are you to chartership? It's a minimum length of employment experience required right?

Minimum of 4 years after completing an MEng degree and starting work. You have to take part in professional development and have to achieve certain criteria with regard to management, innovation, presentations and teh way you act.

4 Years is the minimum, but some people are either not ready for it after 4 years and need more experience, and some just don't bother because they are too busy with work and are not looking to move around jobs etc requiring the ualification.

It's wrth it in the long run though, as some positions require a CEng as it's a good way of finding the best candidates who have had the necessary experince in a wide number of areas.

I've been at my company 1 year and will probably be going for chartership in year 5/6. I want to be ready for it and not rush into it. But I don't know how long i will stay or where my life will take me in 2+ years time. Lots of things might change.

Yeah it sounds interesting....But you know, once you install 30 tweaters and 30 base units into a cab one after the other all laid out in one go...it get's repetitive :p

And I've only been there just over a month! ;)

Carlsboro? Nope :) I was a server and projects engineer in my previous job...So this new job is completely different to what I'm used to.

I 'could' buy some of the speakers...However I do not have several k just waiting around in my bank account :p It's expensive kit, quite funny really.

They they're not cheap, but if you were to get staff discount or something it could be cheap I guess but I don't know they give staff discount or not... ;)

Pro kit is pretty expensive, but usually after a few gigs it will pay for itself so it's an investment really, I'm going to start off with a small system and will see how things go, a lot of it will be made from ply in the back garden! :D
 
I provide "services" mainly for older ladies who cannot otherwise recieve them. Average of around 500 pounds per "service", and generally do two or three a week. Do the maths.
 
Senior management for Tesco - 46k plus shares and Benefits etc.

Should go up to the 65k+ range when I get my first small store to myself (Within the next 6 months I hope) :)

just a question - don't take this the wrong way - but if you're referred to as being 'senior management' before you've got to the point where you're actually managing a small store what would normal 'management' be?
