Boeing offer evaluation and counter offer thoughts!
Hi Blinders! I recently interviewed with Boeing and got an offer for a Sr. Business Intelligence Analyst Position. It was a panel interview with purely behavioral questions only. No scripting/coding at all. The HM directly reached out by scheduling interview and received an offer today. Never spoke to any recruiter and talked about any salary expectations. So, didn’t have much idea as to what to expect. Received an offer today in their workday for 120K and other benefits blah blah but nothing else really. A recruiters contact was listed and asked to reach out before “not accepting” the offer….lol Now, my question is - is it worth pursuing this offer at all meaning do things like negotiating, sign-on bonus and/or annual bonuses (not even thinking off equity…lol) work at all at Boeing? Any insight or tip/tricks that I should know before reaching out to them? Also, considering all thats happening with Boeing, is it even a remotely sensible move to join the company? YOE: 6 yrs TC: ~180K
If you're in Amazon, I'd stay in tech TBH
What’s your role at Amazon and level? Going to Boeing would be a huge downgrade career wise IMO. But hell, might as well try to negotiate as much and see how much they’re willing to pay.
Who would want to work at Boeing kind of companies lol my friend at LM and NASA want to get the f out of there because of their ridiculously low TC
Not every company out there pays tech salaries, people have to understand that.
Can’t tell if this is a joke but do not under any circumstance accept, the role will be effectively dead end and is end of growth path. WLB will be fine but work is fantastically uninteresting (source: ex 5 years Boeing)
What were you doing here?
Space hardware and then software, algo development
No it’s going to be a huge pay cut. I went boeing to aws and it is by far better in terms of pay and work I would say switch teams internally or go to another local tech company
I'm trying desperately to get OUT of Boeing. Been in IT for 8+ years. Don't. Do. It.
Like everyone said, not much career growth, low TC but amazing WLB. Up to you what you want. You can prob negotiate a higher offer but probably won't go up enough to compete with current salary
Amazing wlb is a double edged sword. Haven’t been at Boeing for 2 years, but at the time we were full time in the office. I had like 1 hour of work per day and twiddled my thumbs the rest of the day. Most bored I have ever been and spent the time studying for IT certs or reading car forums Would rather be paid more and actually work for 40 hours per week. I’m at aws now and work for about 40 hours for 200k. Way better
Yeah for sure a lot of thumb twiddling for me too. Luckily I can work mainly at home so lots of free time to do errands and family
I'd like to add, Boeing WLB is really good. It is so chill. I have a baby and having no stress from work is so valuable. I took 3 months of paternity leave and don't worry about performance review or getting laid off. So Boeing is worth it if you are already one foot into retirement. Another plus is hybrid will be permanent thing. So WLB will be even better. I am currently remote full-time and manager is gonna ask me to come one day a week. If you are young, I'd rather stay tech, earn more money. But if you have a family and want to spend time with your children, Boeing might be good.
You can negotiate but you’ll get nowhere near the $180k TC. You will want to enter Boeing at the highest level possible. Nothing lower than a P4 because you could stay at a level 3 forever.
If it’s boing, I’m not going! 😂
