Anybody see any jobs in Pittsburgh lately? I’m looking for a job in engineering but all I see is :down:. From what i see in other big towns, Pittsburgh is the sh\*t and i’d hate to leave. I guess i should have been a nurse :crying: ---

it ranges from 35-60k…i got an offer for 47 for the state of R.I. but i’d go to 35 to stay around here. I’d go lower but got $40k in loans and a car payment 😉 ---

Graduate in May 04’…it’s (x^3)/3…🆒** Did you Co-op? That is by far your best chance at getting a job. Had I not co-oped I’m sure I still would not have a job today. You almost have to know somebody to get a job in engineering right now. My company used to be one of the largest co-op employers for Pitt engineering students. They would routinely hire Pitt grads every year. Now, it has been almost 3 years since they’ve had any co-ops, or hired any entry level engineers outside of the company. ---

Who’s Westinghouse? Oh, you mean British Nuclear Fuels/ Curtis Wright/ Siemens/ Bombardier/ can’t remember the others. 😉 Siemens is pretty big (power generation), but it sounds like you’re trying to stay in the area. ---

Ah, sorry Jeff I forgot there is 20 billion Westinghouse… it’s a Siemens Westinghouse I believe. They built a brand-new building down in the waterfront. ---

I though I heard someone mention they weren’t going through with it though. Not sure. I’ll have to ask around. It would be nice to have another business here - the area could use it. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/where-are-the-jobs-at-in-pgh/165066.md?page=2)
