🚨METEOROLOGY JOB POSTING🚨 Come work with me at Xcel Energy, one of the largest utility companies in the US. This is a hybrid role in Denver. Energy Meteorology jobs do not come around often; this is a rare and exciting opportunity. Deadline: 11/26 linkedin.com/jobs/view/4076…

For those interested in the private sector, check out this thread if you want to learn about career paths you may have never thought were possible.

Those of you who are meteorologists or adjacent, but do NOT work a traditional job like broadcast TV or NWS, please comment down below. Yes, even if it has nothing to do with weather. I suspect there are a lot more opportunities in this field than most people realize #wxtwitter

I’ll start. I’m Andrew Markowitz, 27, and currently work as a meteorologist in the energy sector in Denver, CO. Like many, weather was a lifelong passion, and as a side hustle I run a professional weather TikTok account. I will not be at the conference but always happy to chat.
