Howdy. I'm looking for advice moving into a new industry. I have an Ag Engineering degree and about 5 years of experience in the equipment industry. Looking to move into construction and work for a General Contractor. I'm in the North Dallas/Plano area.
My understanding is that the most common career path is Project Engineer -> Assistant Project Manager -> Management. Is this true for all companies in the industry, regardless of size?
Is it best to stick with looking for entry-level positions, or can I realistically leverage my experience into a Senior Engineer or APM role?
Any other advice for switching industries and looking for a fresh start in general?
