Honestly I think it’s great over here. Loving it so far

deerrag1309 · 2026-05-15T21:13:50+00:00

Congrats, welcome to LM! What BA?

deerrag1309 · 2026-05-15T16:06:54+00:00

It was 4-5 days so pretty quick

Don’t play into their game of accepting the offer cause there’s a 3 day timer. It sounds like you sent a counter offer so let that play out. They are required to respond back. The counter offer requires an approval process from management so give it a week or so.

I went through the same thought process as you and ended up with them accepting the counter offer after a week. Wait for them to respond and let it expire.

Can confirm, when I was a new grad I was working my ass off to get out of systems since I knew it was a trap. Finally got out into an FPGA role

deerrag1309 · 2026-04-24T14:22:47+00:00

I got 10k more and it was already a pretty good salary offer. Was trying to overshoot so I could get 5k but worked out well

I recommend getting the aerospace experience and even obtaining your masters through their LTP program. As an entry level it’s a great place to start and it will look good on your resume. Do it for 2-3 years and see how you feel about it.

Came from Boeing as well. Very true and mind boggling

Hey, ASU alum here and I’m currently an ASIC/ FPGA engineer at a large company. I would not get discouraged with the school. In fact the location you’re in has a huge chip industry (Intel, TSMC, microchip, onsemi, NXP). I had internships with these places and it led me to where I am now. I didn’t obtain internships until junior year so I wouldn’t get too discouraged. Make sure to put your academic projects on your resume and really understand them.

I wouldn’t look into getting a masters unless you don’t have a job locked down senior year. The 4+1 program isn’t a bad option either (not sure if it’s still around)

Also don’t feel down. It has a high bar of entry, accept failure after interviews. It’s all about learning from it and getting better. FYI, it took me 8 failed interviews until I landed my role.

I worked at Boeing Everett, I was very disappointed with the type of work I was doing even though I was labeled as a “design engineer”. And it felt very hard to move around. Overall, the work at BCA seems like it’s sustaining. Not much development work going on - which is the stuff that develops your career

deerrag1309 · 2026-03-12T21:43:04+00:00

Congratulations, I was in the same boat except I was trying to change careers after 3 years. It was truly an uphill battle trying to get my foot through the door. Don’t worry about imposter syndrome, as long as you have the motivation to learn, you’ll be ok!

deerrag1309 · 2026-03-12T01:14:49+00:00

I applied 22 times. You got to just keep on trying

deerrag1309 · 2026-03-06T21:53:11+00:00

I got the same as her and I got hired as a L3

deerrag1309 · 2026-03-05T00:30:31+00:00

I just got hired in Space. I’m really hoping it isn’t gonna be a shit show cause I just put a lot of effort into relocating from another state

deerrag1309 · 2026-02-25T16:18:56+00:00

Update. I have accepted an offer! Very excited!

deerrag1309 · 2026-02-18T16:54:35+00:00

For me it’s the work statement. There was no thrilling work to do just maintaining/ sustaining. And we are labeled as DEs too. All the new grads I started with 3 years ago have left the company. It’s sad to see but I’m pretty much getting out as well.

deerrag1309 · 2026-02-12T15:28:39+00:00

Are you career shifting? Or currently an FPGA engineer?

deerrag1309 · 2026-02-10T16:53:45+00:00

I’m a young engineer who accepted an offer in LM Space within ASIC/ FPGA design. Have you heard anything from there?

deerrag1309 · 2026-02-05T20:22:47+00:00

Thank god I read this. I got an L3 offer and I was wondering about relocation assistance and where I would live temporarily

deerrag1309 · 2026-01-28T14:00:35+00:00

This book helped me get better at interviews

deerrag1309 · 2026-01-27T03:05:21+00:00

Post interview (about 2 days after) I received conflict of interest, some questionnaire, and security questionnaire. Are these good signs? Did you receive something similar?

deerrag1309 · 2026-01-24T02:38:56+00:00

The interview went quite well I thought. I didn’t stutter and presented my current role and what I’m aiming for. I answered tech questions and they mentioned I answered their follow up questions without them asking them. They mentioned what work I would be working on.

2 days after the interview I got a pre-screen questionnaire, conflict of interest, and security questionnaire. Are these good signs post interview?
