Hey folks,
I know I am preaching to the choir here but dang jobs are hard find in the Environmental field right now, at least in my state, so I expanded the scope of my job search and recently interviewed for a stack testing position with alliance. Sounded like a pretty typical compliance and sampling gig.
We spoke about the long hours, travel and down time the industry usually runs into and while none of it was particularly thrilling I wasn't put off by any of it. Is there anyone who has experience with Alliance/stack testing that would be willing to share their opinion?
I view it as a way to build my experience in the industry as well as move my family to a part of the state we have been trying to settle down in for a while.
TL;DR - Is stack testing with AllianceTG good or bad for an entry level career seeker?
If anything I brought up or left our raises questions I will try my best to clarify in the comments.
Ninja Edit: Yes, I have read the litany of post on this sub and others regarding pretty much this exact question so maybe I should clarify a few things. 1. My current job is fine but not even remotely related to anything environmental. 2. I've been a desk jockey for years now and I miss long days in the field talking trash with roughneck coworkers. 3. I am pushing 30 soon and am worried if I don't pivot into the Environmental industry somehow now I will lose the chance to gain any meaningful experience that could land me a more conservation focused role.
My other option is to lock in and get my masters in Env Engineering then try to find work that way but that'll take 2-3 years and thats time I could use gaining professional experience.
