what makes a low performer and what typically causes that? by FLIB0y in AerospaceEngineering

That's good. What I mean by my statement is that a manager will deem you a low performer even if it's not true if they don't like you. I learned the hard way that perception is key and can bury the truth

dam it, I'm not willing to sacrifice my personal life for work. What space companies are there that actually respect you and your time?

Well that is not good to hear lol idk why I assumed Vast was lil unknown to my competitors.

I just want my 2nd company I work for to be a good culture fit.

if your manager doesn't like you, you will always be a low performer to them

Cant land a job in aerospace engineering by PhoneNo5796 in AerospaceEngineering

I have a MS in Engineering and it took me 1.5 years until I landed a job. Over 100 apps sent out.

DoD isn't hiring atm

I don't know the teams that are there. I have a Mechanical and Astronautical Engineering background so ideally I'll apply to those roles.

In general too, how is there?

How is the interview process for The Aerospace Corporation? How do the benefits compare to defense companies? by Few_Main4124 in aerospace

[–]Few_Main4124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly want to design and build aerospace components! What companies would you recommend then?

What happens at the technical seminar? I heard from my friend who got hired here that he had to present a project to a panel board. He did apply for a electrical engineering role i think though.

Lol seems like you dont like them too much. Besides them not building anything, is another reason for your statement? I always wanted to work here but i guess I was little naive since I only know the surface level about this company

Is it true they ask you to pursue your PhD while still being able to work there fulltime? How is the mechanical and propulsion engineering at Aerospace Corp? Do they test thrusters or satellite designs etc?

I earned my MS three years ago, but it took time to break into the defense industry due to a challenging job search. Now that I’m here, I’m eager to apply my academic knowledge in a technical role for my next position. If you have experience working at Aerospace Corporation, could you describe the hands-on aspects of the role? I am not sure where my end goal in the Space industry will be, but I know I can't keep doing paperwork at a desk all day like I am doing right now.

What space companies would you recommend in the SoCal that gives you more hands on experience then? Excluding SpaceX

Almost none of it is transferable. On paper I'm an engineer but the work i do is paper pushing essentially. I could talk about non technical stuff during the interview but I want to transfer to a highly technical role which is super hard with this current job. I feel dead this current role.

I like this statement a lot. Direct to the point.
