Project Executive VS QA/QC

mrportable — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 17:38:43 +0800

hi guys, need some ideas here. I'm comparing between project executive(renovation project consultant) and QA/QC (construction) which will bring a better future in terms of promotion and $$$.

Job scope for project executive covers everything from beginning to the end, but limited to small office renovation projects. QA/QC here means for big construction.
I'm now a project executive, as a project consultant, the area i involve is quite broad but the projects are small project.
I haven't tried QA/QC, but would like to know in your view, which job will have a more bright future? (if one can excel in either one)

female in construction management field

mrportable — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 19:20:51 +0800

Female developing in construction management, how is the chance to get promoted(project manager)? I personally feel it is tough for girls as I've noticed rarely there is female(not including female labour) on construction site. and almost all manager level = male.
