The end of Backdoor Roth?!
Blinders, I need some help. I'm very interested in continuing a technical career in Aerospace. I got a verbal offer at Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Stress Analysis at the Seattle site. However, no written offer yet and my interest is to work on Aircraft Development Programs in Finite Element Analysis preferably. I'm projecting the offer to be a level 3 paying $130,000. I've worked at Boeing in Seattle and it is chill as fuck with great people and nice predictable pace. Not to mention I'd love to transition into data science and this would be a great geographical area to do it given the Tech presence. On the other hand, I got an offer at United Airlines in Houston TX for a similar level role, total comp being $120,000. I spent the day with the manager, walked with engineers to see repairs they've written up to be done on Aircraft, and even though they mention it being a 100 percent reactive role, their knowledge check test is surprisingly technical, and given no access to models they seem to do a lot of calculation stuff. Schedule is 7 days on 7 days off plus all airline flight benefits. I wasn't initially considering it but to have every other week off and the option to fly anywhere for free in a low cost of living area is amazing. I currently live in Greater New York City Area on $120,000 and it's next to impossible to buy a home given the inflated costs. But for what I pay to live here I get so much more Real Estate and the offer is extremely tempting. Lastly, to avoid a layoff I have been in a role I really don't like and is not at all aligned with my long term technical career goals. I was sponsoring my wife's green card so I needed to stay put and at the time required some form of job continuity. I don't like reactive roles but I can do them. However, I'm aware how fast paced and unpredictable they typically are, and I tend to thrive in a slower paced proactive environment that is typically only technical work. What do I do? TC $115,000 Tldr; I like Structural Analysis, but got an offer at an airliner for Line Support engineering where I'll probably do structural repairs instead, but it's in a low COL area. Need help deciding.
Off topic but when I joined military they tried making me an air framer and I walked out of the recruiting office.. maybe I should’ve did it Im a swe now so I guess it worked out but good job
Airline work is more stress due to maintaining flight schedules. You already know boeing is more chill. You are young you can always go to Boeing when you want to chill. The airline will be a very good experience that will make you more lucrative for aviation in general.
I blame you for recent incident. You joined Boeing and did not do your job on Stress testing the fuselage right?
Tricky decision! Boeing is more stable and best 401k match with dollar for dollar upto 10%! On the other hand united offers airline travel perk which is unbeatable along with Houston metro which is a plus. Good luck
