Younger Member Forum
|
When choosing a company to work for, most young engineers spend a lot of time considering which firm is "right" for them. Everyone wants to make the "right" decisions to advance their careers, and one of the largest issues young engineers consider is whether it is better to work for a large or small firm. In order to provide further insight into this question, the Met Section's Younger Member Forum (YMF) chose "Engineering Firms: Does Size Matter?" as the topic for the Eleventh Annual CEO Forum, which was held at Columbia University in Manhattan on March 6, 2012.

Peter Mancuso and Anahid Andonian meet with Representative Robert Turner (center).
By: Peter S. Mancuso, P.E.
The prospect of attending ASCE's Annual Legislative Fly-In had been on my mind for quite a while. The conference always sounded a bit too involved in politics for my liking. Lessons in civics were never my strong suit. However, my interest in the policies that shape both my personal life and professional career has increased in recent years. As times have gotten harder for those close to my position, I began to question why more wasn't being done to insure that this country's talented engineering force was being put to work for a better tomorrow.
