No doubt, the exploration, the hardware, the scientific wonder, there's only one place like this. The rank and file are some of the brightest minds, they have passion and they love the community and love to help. There is a sense of we're in this together, and it is uplifting.
Management is slowly transforming this into just another tech operation. Metrics aren't shared, decisions are made based on in-transparent data in a top-down mindset. Proclamations of we are a family, all-the-while there's little room for growth in entrenched structures, subpar compensation, and now the reality of layoffs due to government shutdowns. IC's passions for their projects are ruthlessly exploited, because where else will they go to work on these challenges. The shine is wearing off, and there's a long way to go to recapture what used to inspire us.
I have an upcoming interview for a position as contractor TPM for NASA. I'm checking Glassdoor and see 150k, could I ask for 200k for a contractor position? #nasa #salary #aerospace Yoe : 5 TC : 110k
Heard: $ 1 million/ year TC Fact or fiction 👀?
I'm having an opportunity to join NASA. Is there a chance that they can meet Google's salary? TC: 365K
NASA astronauts make less than 200k and you f*ckers cannot stop whining about your 400k salary. Stop it already. Okay, bye.

I've heard JPL salary might be very low, but looking for a number or range to get a better feel. I'm aiming for something that would be similar to an L5 position, or about 6-12 years of experience. On Glassdoor, it suggests $159k average, which isn't bad at all for the Los Angeles area, but heavily ...Read more

I've been working in Ads at Amazon for 6 months and can't stand it. I feel I am contributing nothing of value to humanity.

I’m leaving due to stagnancy and extremely toxic pompous and arrogant culture. TC: – $112k base...Read more
Over the past couple years I’ve been really interested in a certain field (can’t say because it’ll dox me) that is not very adjacent to “tech”. My gut tells me I should just give up my SWE career and jump in because life is too short blah blah blah. Words cannot describe how much I want to work in t...Read more
Early last year I moved from the U.S to Asia and needed to “start from scratch” so took a downgrade in my title and salary. The company I started recently with hires me to do engineering work though my previous title and duties(plus certs) all involved architecture. It’s been about 6 months on the ...Read more
I see a lot of ads for projects that purport to be doing something new and exciting. When asked, it turns out the project is basically a webapp or mobile app that does some marginally interesting thing. Some examples: - We are letting people book hotel rooms on their phone! - Project is to send blo...Read more
