I’m excited to start my new job at Lockheed in FW, TX, soon! I’ll be driving 60 miles ish from Frisco, crossing PGB and I-30, which usually takes about an hour, but can be longer on a bad day. Does anyone do this long commute and does it drain you?
Do you have any tips on what time to leave to get to the plant on time, especially since I’ve heard the parking can get pretty crowded if you arrive late?
Do you know if PMP approves this course for 35hrs? I bought it back in 2022 and watched 75%.
Is it hard to get a position overseas like Japan, Korea, Taiwan or Europe for 2-3 years and move on?
I’m excited to join Lockheed Aero in DFW soon and was hoping you could give me some information about orientation days. How many days are typically involved? Also, will I get a laptop, and if so, what kind of options do I have for the laptop itself, backpack, and supplier? I’d really appreciate any details you can share! Thanks so much.
Is $138,000 a fair salary for this position in DFW with a Master and 5 YOE at Lockheed?
I’ve been an engineer for a decade at a defense contractor in Texas, where a nice house is 400k ( looks like a 2M house jn San Jose), earning just over $100,000. While I’m comfortable in my current state, reaching millionaire status and owning a million-dollar house seems unattainable. However, in the Bay Area, I witnessed how an entry-level tech job could easily earn $200,000 to $300,000 annually, allowing them to purchase a 2M house within a few years. This is particularly in the tech industry, where startups and IPOs have created numerous millionaires. Considering these opportunities, I’m contemplating whether to abandon everything in my 30s and relocate to the Bay Area to join a tech company. I understand that the tech industry is known for frequent layoffs, but while still having a job, individuals can earn substantial income and save for rainy days.
