Work as an Engineering Manager in a Specialty Chemical Plant. We are privately owned, but have facilities in the US, Canada, South America, and building one in the Middle East.
It has its ups and downs and I have lots of deadlines as both the IT and Maintenance department report to me.
My only gripe is that I'm the only one in my role of responsibilities that does not carry the title and extra pay of VP. But I think most of that is because I'm the youngest member on the management team.
Pay is still really good....and I can always do private consulting on the side....but I did that for a while a few years back and figured out I liked my free time more than I liked the additional income.
