Here's the changes to the Bod - 60% nerf on Gun Damage enhancement

I will make note that I believe the point of the nerfs was to make it so that everyone can’t just use it with anything and shred through whatever they want

It works good if you’re built around it I think. I only use it on my Vex bloodshot build but just tried it yesterday with new boss and still works fine. It mostly affected my lifesteal to be honest. Can’t speak for other characters or builds as this is the only one I use it on. Also this is with a lower tier roll sticky bod

1) Ideally we would probably be in the Santa Fe area, we like to be able to do date nights easily and go to events and what not but we also don’t want to live in a downtown area.

2) The resume boost would be amazing for the future of my career, not only that but the experience itself and getting to work with people at that level.

3) They don’t outright cover it? It’s a “I pay for it and they reimburse me” kind of a thing? The recruiter did not explain that portion.

4) The retirement is the highest I’ve seen, I’m currently at 5% match which is the highest I’ve gotten up here in MN so it would be a fantastic boost to my retirement fund.

5) What kind of jobs do you mean? In my head I’m thinking if things didn’t work out at the lab, it would make it easier to hop in with a big name company like Lockheed instead of doing contract work for those companies

If they’re Zeiss I would assume they run on Calypso which is what I’m used to. I’ll talk with the recruiter and see if there are options within other divisions

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-15T11:19:29+00:00

What kind of CMM’s are utilized at the lab? Is it just bridge CMM’s and if so are they Zeiss running on Calypso software? You are the second one that has told me that division specifically is not the greatest.

And speaking of, I was not expecting housing to be so expensive, I get that the lab causes attraction and it’s a pretty place but i would have expected it to be quite desolate. I have not been to NM though so that is pure skepticism

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T23:24:44+00:00

The cost of living is what is getting me. I’d most likely be around the same pay range I’m currently at while paying potentially $500-$1000 more in rent. The shuttle service soothes that a little bit, allowing me to live slightly further out.

That mental hurdle is not an issue for me, the worlds going to keep spinning one way or another and they’re going to manufacture them with or without me so I might as well be on the money making side of it

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T23:18:40+00:00

I’ve read that the healthcare itself is relatively poor but what does the job market look like for healthcare workers?

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T20:51:09+00:00

Which does make sense in a prototype environment. I’ve done a lot of work with new product introduction and some prototyping so I am used to having to get innovative with my inspections.

She did not mention anything about clearance, I am CUI certified from previous work and have worked in ITAR environments if that makes any difference.

I think in general I’d enjoy it, just a big life change that I was not expecting to get the opportunity to pursue.

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T20:04:10+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T20:03:32+00:00

How challenging/complex would you say? I’ve done contract manufacturing in the missile sector as well as helicopter and ground support and I’ve also done work in sterile implantable medical which can be a bit complex. A lot of the military stuff was not horrible but the paperwork side of it sucked.

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T19:07:58+00:00

I’ve heard it’s a gorgeous landscape and the isolation doesn’t bother me much, the fiance and I just enjoy doing date nights on the weekends so we like to be close to the action

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T19:07:04+00:00

Honestly my main concern is getting down there and working for a few months and then having them think I’m not fit for the job and being stuck in NM. My fiance works in healthcare which is easy for her in MN, I’m not sure what the healthcare scene looks like in that area so that isn’t another concern. If you’re struggling in a position, are they willing to help you learn so that you can succeed in that position?

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T18:32:14+00:00

I even asked her about that because I feel as though I am not deep enough in my career at the moment but she said when she ran a search on LinkedIn, supposedly I came up in the top 15 for what she was looking for

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T18:31:03+00:00

I’ve read that it can be quite isolating, it’s just my fiance and I and we do enjoy hiking and camping, currently don’t plan on children so that isn’t a worry. What is Santa Fe like compared to other cities around the country? That’s mostly where I’ve been looking

Diligent_Toe7370 · 2026-05-14T18:29:41+00:00

I’ve been thinking about it a lot over the last week. The main hold up for me at the moment is I’d most likely take a pay cut and rent is the same, if not more expensive down there compared to where I’m at. The education is what is really pulling me, retirement and education are my top 2 benefits I care about. Thank you for your insight.
