Lockheed Martin which group to choose

Looking for some insight. Got 2 offers from Lockheed Martin. One is with their space sector and the other is with their missile fire and control group. I’ll be joining as a software engineer. In terms of software tools and growth, which group would be better? #engineering #software #swe #lockheed 135k (Sunnyvale) vs 105k (Fort Worth)

A reason specifically why everyone is choosing space side? Thanks for all the votes.

Way better location (more interesting work imho). You’ll be in the right area to jump ship and go to a startup or faang later in.

missile fire and control group lets you contribute to things that blow people up, sounds way cooler imo tbh

How were the interviews? Are you a fresh grad?

Northrop Grumman bip2dip OP Sep 22, 2021

Interviews were easy and laidback. Mostly behavioral stuff. No not fresh grad. 3 yoe.

Thanks. Do you already have a security clearance?

MF&C will put you in a cage career wise. Got out of it myself before it was too late.

Do they use C++?

Northrop Grumman bip2dip OP Sep 22, 2021

Oh really. Could you give some more details on how they restricted your career?
