The problem
The profession is shrinking. The demand isn't.
The opportunity is yours.
57%
of graduating engineers leave within a few years due to limited autonomy, flexibility, opportunity, and mentorship.
~0%
real compensation growth for staff engineers over the last decade.

P.E.s feel overworked and undercompensated and would explore other opportunities.
0 hrs
of business, pricing, or leadership training required to earn a P.E. license.
Of every 100 engineers who start their career full of ambition, maybe 10 are still in the profession by year 15.
We've been calling it burnout. It's not. It's a training problem.
School taught you how to pass the P.E. exam. It didn't teach you how to run a project, price your worth, or build a career that isn't entirely dependent on who's above you.
Firms used to fill that gap — a mentor with time to explain the “why.” Utilization pressure ate the time. Everyone is too busy billing to teach.
The skills that once passed down in hallway conversations stopped passing down. You get more work. Not more guidance. Not more growth. Just more.
And underneath it, a newer question: if AI is learning the skills you already have, what happens to your value if you stop building new ones?
We've packaged the answer: decades in public and private practice, director-level leadership, a firm built from scratch, and a new model for how design professionals grow.
This is that support, made available to everyone.
What Level Up gives you
The room engineers have been missing.
Real practitioners. Real problems. No lecture halls. A focused place to learn, ask, contribute, and grow.
Real-time feedback
On designs, proposals, negotiations, and firm structure — as it happens.
A real professional network
Firm owners, solo operators, and employees actually designing things.
Courses
A growing library of courses to upgrade your skills and future-proof your career.
Interviews & workshops
Conversations with engineers who've built firms, led departments, and shipped real work.
Opportunity board
Firms and independents hiring inside the network — contracts, referrals, and partnerships.
Real mentorship
Questions you can't ask your boss? We've got your back.
Nobody really teaches the nuanced situations from real projects — you learn them from a great mentor in the field, and that's becoming increasingly rare. Bring the questions you have nowhere else to ask. We create a safe space for real growth.
“I've learned more in these A&E meetings than I have anywhere else in my career — can I get CEUs for this?
