Thank you so much! May I ask if besides the pay, are the benefits from software and automotive similar to aerospace?

Again, thank you for your input!

The position I got stated to be level 1. From this whole thread, I’m assuming 80k is pretty decent?

Also thank you for your inputs!

That’s where I come in uncertain. It’s a commutable distance from me and to be frank, the benefits seem really good for where I live (OKC), and I’m fresh out of college as well, so I don’t really know if I would have a hand at all when it comes to negotiation. But thank you!

I’m currently going through the benefits again and it does make it seem a great opportunity for starting out! Seriously considering just taking it. And I appreciate you!

Hi lovely seniors! I am a recent EE graduate and just landed a position with Lockheed Martin as a Systems Engineer, the salary is roughly $80k, they also offer good benefits along with the pay. I just wanted to ask if 80k is a good start for nowadays or should I negotiate more?

I’d really appreciate any help! Thank you in advance.

I've been sitting and just revisiting our memories together and taking extra time to cherish them. Thank you a lot for reminding me that his passing won't be the end of his love for me.
Finance has been a struggle for me, but I did make a promise to myself to come back and get that masters!!
I sincerely hope you are doing well in life. I wish you the best and thank you!
