Pretty decent pay, slower career progression. Really depends on what area you're looking into. Most recruiters I've met have pretty big egos which has been an issue for me personally

Depends on your personal ethics and if you want to contribute to the military industrial complex or not

Big difference for working directly for RMS or Pratt and Whitney projects. Depends on where you would land.

RMS is still begging for me to interview over email, and I won't do it based on values (cyber, embedded programming, and anti-tamper experience).

Raytheon (pre merger) was a big client of mine. There’s definitely warts but the majority of my clients seemed to be generally happy there. Not uncommon to find 20+ year employees. I really enjoyed working with them too.

I work at Raytheon and love it.

Hi folks,
Quite new to this. I’ll be moving to Dubai in a month and I got to know that my education documents need to be attested before the company can apply for visa.

Do I need to have MOFA Attestation in addition to the UAE Embassy Attestation from home country or will that be managed by the company in UAE itself?

NYC Freelancers! My Medicaid is ending soon and I need to start making health insurance decisions (lame).

I’m trying to also rationalize paying for my own in NYC but it’s so expensive ($500+/mo). I go to the doctor fairly often. Single NYC freelancers (no kids), what do you pay monthly or yearly? Worth it?
