Two engineers, the same degree
Two civil engineers. The same degree, the same years, the same technical skill. Very different salaries.
We were trained to calculate structures, design projects and supervise sites. Nobody taught us to negotiate a contract, present a proposal clearly, or read a margin.
The market pays for what you know, but also for how clearly you can show the value it creates.
Many times you do not need to change careers. You need to change how you stand inside the one you have.
