The role provides valuable experience in proposal coordination and exposure to international projects, which supports long-term career growth in business development.

Pros

Flexible hours and different types of work

Cons

Attended a career fair with fellow coworkers at a local college. The engineers in the field-heavy roles were told AFTER the event that they needed to take PTO because it wasn't billable work, while those of us in an office based role weren't required to.
