Are you a physical model or computer model. I didn't know when they started using AI on hydraulic models this would happen ๐ฒ
Btw. Can I know how can I get a job like yours. I'm looking for remote works in around a year with a PhD on hydrology related degree. I have good programming skills, and good hydrology/hydraulic knowledge.
Nowadays I work in urban hydrology and lead our team for general planning/asset management and data management of utilities company for a city in germany. I did my phd in river hydrology and hydrometeorology.
I have to admit modelling nowadays is only ~30% of my job. I oftentimes wished that I would do more modelling, but thus is life I guess. Should still consider myelf lucky that I manage to still do that much modelling, thanks to my team being very competent, thus allowing me to manage with a very low hierarchy and still do some work myself (the pay gap is also quite small, so I guess that is fair).
But remote work is difficult in that business. We allow a maximum of 50% and only 1-2 days per week for leading positions.
