Do you think it’s a good move to leave Blue Origin for SpaceX? I’m not sure how much my salary would go up.

Microsoft yuppers20 Aug 28, 2023

TC?

Collins Aerospace atinӏay Aug 28, 2023

Yes

Meta lazimeya Aug 28, 2023

Only way to find out would be to get an offer right…

Blue Origin WCFK18 OP Aug 28, 2023

Yes. My panel interview is next. Good point. Had 3 interviews technical so far. Will have to go in person for panel. So we’ll see.

Meta lazimeya Aug 28, 2023

All the best, hope you get it

Zoom mcHH42 Aug 28, 2023

Gross on all fronts.

Amazon pep.vev Aug 28, 2023

This coming from Zoom? A company with no technical moat to differentiate from competitors? A ‘remote-enabling’ company that’s making employees RTO? a company that’s down 85%+ in less than three years? But yeah, you go off about space companies, queen.

Amazon sowreap Aug 28, 2023

Pep.vev why are you so upset and trying to pull the prestige card? I do agree with this person saying those companies are gross but if they believe the companies are hurting the environment or something like that, why would they care about anything you said?

Amazon pep.vev Aug 28, 2023

SpaceX owns space, BO can’t get anything into actual space (and no, flirting with the Karman line isn’t space). Not an exaggeration to say that SpaceX has accomplished 100x what BO has… So yeah, unless SpaceX wants to halve your comp, it’s no-brainer.

Blue Origin WCFK18 OP Aug 28, 2023

I definitely agree with you. Good point!

Blue Origin davidjules Sep 6, 2023

On the alternate side of this blue is relatively layoff immune. Also if the comp is the same, why not stay and help? Yes SpaceX is definitely doing great, I don't know if that's a reason to go join them though.

Imagine being a rocket scientist and your options are either working for Bezos or Musk or Uncle Sam

Meta fhjjtddcbj Aug 28, 2023

That's why I'm a pocket scientist

Blue Origin WCFK18 OP Aug 28, 2023

Lol😂 yes. I wish Bill Gates or Mark Z had space companies. At least they are much nicer people

Stock at SpaceX has increased 40%/yr on average over the last 10yrs. Can’t say that will continue but the upside potential is probably better than Blue Origin. Base pay will be lower. That said Boca Chica sucks, so avoid like the plague.

Blue Origin WCFK18 OP Aug 28, 2023

It will be at LA so need to move from Seattle to LA. But yes seams like it’s stock is soaring.

Apple ongd Aug 28, 2023

Maybe not the best reason to switch but the french fries in the cafeteria in LA are fantastic! Also it overlooks Mission Control which is cool too.

MathWorks MachoMan07 Aug 30, 2023

which team you gon with. the way starlink is booming, wouldn't be surprised if it goes IPO in the near future.

Blue Origin billy1294 Sep 13, 2023

Yes

Blue Origin billy1294 Sep 13, 2023

Always a better move
