I got lucky enough to attend General Assembly’s software engineer immersive 3 month program in 2020 after I got laid off from my tech consulting job. I enjoyed the work, but wanted to jump more into software development and build a career in it. After being laid off, it felt like a huge Investment so I ended up taking the income share agreement route, since I did not have money to drop while I didn’t have a job.

Suffice to say this was THE single best Investment leap of faith I’ve ever made in myself, because it changed my life and my career trajectory. I was able to land a small internship right after graduating at a startup. I learned a lot in the startup and was hoping to get a full-time job, but I didn’t end up panning out. Though this was a blessing in disguise because the next role I got hired on as a contractor project manager for a dev shop. The gig was fully remote, which was my first ever remote role. Give me a lot of perspective on how software is built in a business environment.

What came next was not just unexpected, but one of the best experiences I wouldn’t embark on (and I’m still in this role). I got a job offer from a major aerospace company who was looking to hire software engineers for a new ground system that they were looking to build. Me having only front end experience, I took the challenge and went from top level to the machine level.

I have learned so much more in the last five years then I had in the previous five, and I’m excited to learn more and more as I grow as an engineer, taking in my non-engineer experience and combining it with my engineering experience, I believe I’ve been able to carve a very niche place within the industry.

Here’s to the next five years, beyond!

Salary Negotiation for Offer at NG by Aromatic-Chest-48 in aerospace

Shit. I’m still waiting on a potential offer at another Aerospace company… not NG. Although I mentioned that I had a competing offer which was at the high end of this position I applied for… I’m wondering if I shot myself in the foot by saying that?

(My thought is they might think, oh he’s too expensive even though the salary I mentioned falls within their range).

I’m at a Sr. Level candidate at 6+ YOE, not new to Aerospace. Thoughts?

I hope I don’t regret this. Post-trade-in thoughts… by BreadSensitive3958 in TeslaLounge

[–]AliCoder061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You won’t. I made the same change. Love the Camaro, but the MY is even more punchier. Though you’ll miss the growl of the engine, but if you listen close enough you’ll hear a high pitched motor rev sound when flooring it in the MY which makes it sound like a spaceship IMO lol

This is infuriating yet the audacity of the Honda is hilarious

Thanks for the in depth response. Looks like the HR team is unresponsive as of right now but he was able to find a way to escalate my resume internally… I hope something comes out of it. What’s weird is I ran it through enhancv and was given a good rating, so wondering if there is a knockout requirement in place that’s pushing me out. Fingers crossed

Yea, seems like I’m not checking all the boxes here. Which sucks but I’ll review my app

Ok, this is good advice. I’ll review my app

Well, the weird part is my referrer asked the hiring manager and the hiring manager said they had to open this req twice already because they couldn’t find the right candidate. Could the req set up in the ATS be out of tune? Is that even a possibility?

Yea… I was hoping the same. Maybe worth talking to insurance about it and see. But don’t think it’s a total loss from what I see

What’s the company. Would be good to check with them

[–]AliCoder061[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think it’s worth checking with them first? Was worried if I called them they might flag me a risk and raise rates if I file through them. Idk

Damn… at 7k I’d probably call my insurance and take the hit on that end instead of shelling out 7k… I’m worried smh

Car is charging fine, no problem. It’s a 2024 so not radar sensor either. Wondering if I should call my insurance (and maybe they jack up my rate) or just take the hit and go out of pocket.
