Great history, but that was the past, what about now?
Great history, but that was the past, what about now?
Great legacy.
Can be a big fish in a small pond. Narrow focus on aeronautics. Can get DOGED, creating efficiency.
Great work life balance.
- Every other Friday off.
- EVERY Federal Holiday off.
Great sick leave. Government Pension. Opportunities to pitch ideas and get funding for research and development.
Low pay. Narrow focus on aeronautics. Leadership typically changes every four years, leading to a lack of focus. Funded by stolen money. Can get DOGED but also low pay, so now it is high risk and low reward. Will force experimental medical procedures on you during an emergency and call it a vaccine that cures all.
Retire earlier, and please pay SpaceX more and primes less because they aren't innovating. Then maybe merge with the FAA.

They asked me a lot of personal and technical questions and had a design challenge for me. I enjoyed it, yet it was so serious. I think you need to prepare extensively, depending on the title you have applied for.
