Would it be smart move to exit to Mitre for slightly better pay? If anyone has insight into brand reputation—debating whether it will be a long term mistake and to hold out and keep searching for roles in tech while I have the Acn brand name on my side

I interviewed with MITRE. The base pay was lower than I was looking for, but the retirement benefits are insanely good. My understanding is that they are working on building the brand to be a more attractive employer.

MITRE is pretty slow, but they pay well and you can easily stand out if you’re good.

The new company won’t be able to come close to MITRE’s retirement benefits, so you’ll end up losing money

Oh really? Still trying to understand the package —it’s very different than Accenture

Following.. I also saw a job posting.. what are they? Another small contracting firm ?

Depends what you want to do. MITRE is a big federal contractor and does research and engineering work for the federal gov. Not as fast paced and dynamic as B4, but work tends to be more interesting and longer term. They’re a FFRDC for a few different agencies so they get preference on many research and tech projects.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
