High demand for engineers, constant complain that there isn't enough local engineers, but employers aren't really willing to pay for local engineers. Really depends on your field of engineering tho. Hours wise is ok as a design or sales engineer, but really horrible if you're on site or a plant engineer (grew three shades darker after all the site work). Fellow engineers are always generally helpful especially the technical side. Pay wise you start at 3.5k and 5 years later its ~4k. IT engineers get way more haha
