Can someone talk with me about work life balance? I am an Air Force guy, been active for 3 years now. And I’m looking at getting out in the next 2 years for more money and I don’t want to leave my location. For those that have worked both gov and private sector can you tell me about the differences in expectations and work life balance? San Antonio, Oracle, rack space, DOD, government, USAA.
You'll get decent WLB at companies raking in hefty revenues and profits, with some exceptions: Amazon and Facebook I don't know about Apple. Salesforce, Vmware, Google all have very sustainable WLBs from what I know and hear. Any early or pre IPO startup is going to be a boiler room level of WLB
Fb isn't an exception, Amazon yes*
Depends on what your job was while active. As I'm sure you're aware, not all government sector job are created equal, especially military
There's a lot to unpack here, and I don't want to waste my time, so let me know if you'd like me to expand on anything: It sounds like you're young and have never seriously considered a career. Google "wait but why, choosing a career" and read it. Slowly. Second, ask yourself why you want to pursue money. Speaking from experience, money won't make you happy if you don't have the time to spend it - see miserable lawyers. Third, why don't you want to move? If you have career aspirations, you'll probably have to move, like most people in FANG.
Do you have your TS SCI?
What if he does?
Microsoft needs TS Sci, there are special Recruiter for it.
That’s such a loaded question. What career area?

salute to our veterans first. wlb always leads to high chance of layoff. and you won't get pension from any tech company. so stay with air force or other government agency.
Thanks for the salute, and yes, I invest heavily to negate needing a pension... gov work is not my cup of tea
