[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew started at Lockheed as a software engineer last year making 72k.[/quote] That sounds a bit low, is this not in the DC area?[/quote]

As a Lockheed shareholder, this salary is music to my ears. There's a reason FAANG stocks are tanking... these salaries are not sustainable once the fed increases a few rate hikes.[/quote]

Aerospace pays horribly. It’s like acting. Lots of people want to do it because it’s cool and don’t strategize about salary. Lots of smart kids from rural America get aerospace degrees too, military families, etc who think they are doing interesting important work but don’t realize they should be fairly paid for this technical complex task.

Most individual roles top out at $150k, $200k with clearance. Director would be $250K and usually involve BD [/quote]

For the low pay you even have more lower stress. Teams of senior engineers would literally do a weeks worth of work in a few hours. The rest of the time spent talking about DIY projects. Sometimes I wonder if I made the wrong move for 3x the more pay for 10x the more stress.[/quote]
