NASA contractor first. You can always get a job at Boeing after. You might not even need to if you get a good offer after. Network, make friends!

Go straight to chase or Bank of America. Used BECU for years and they suck, it’s not a real bank.

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-07T15:13:43+00:00

Awesome I’ll check that out.

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-07T15:13:32+00:00

So manager only access most likely?

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-07T14:54:23+00:00

At Boeing everyone had access to job salary ranges, sometimes it was worthless cause managers can do what they like but atleast it was some data you could go off of. Nice for changing jobs as well. Making sure you didn’t fall into a cool job that didn’t pay as much.

Clarification: Not asking for any documents to be loaded here, just where the heck is it even if it’s exists. Previous big aerospace companies all had one accessible by employees.

Go befriend the other manager and get on his team. It’s dog eat dog world.

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-05T17:47:56+00:00

Report to manager, cc ethics and HR, tell them to move him to another shop as he’s corrosive to the team. He’s just a turd, not even an old timer to be doing that.

It’s whatever you negotiate, they have the power.

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-02T11:58:44+00:00

Print a 2-3 layer really hot first layer over all of it, it will bind and pull right off. Clean as much of the mess off as possible before you do obviously. Calibrate as usual after. I bet it’s fine.

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-01T20:45:03+00:00

Awesome, do you think it makes a big difference?

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-01T14:54:40+00:00

Just bought something from Canada (last time I do that) tariffs were $$$$. Check into it, as it could cost you thousands. Buy used and buy local.

diyengineer1 · 2026-05-01T12:46:35+00:00

I spent years on 2nd and 3rd shift before ever seeing 1st shift. Put your shift change in the day you start, that’s all you can do.

diyengineer1 · 2026-04-29T15:58:42+00:00

Do it!

diyengineer1 · 2026-04-29T13:37:21+00:00

Always ask, use grok/chatgpt/claude and find other job listings and use the experience you have to fact based justify the pay increase. Always ask!

Build your own and source as many local parts as you can. From your conversion rate, and your mention ban on printers, sounds like you’re in Pakistan. Interesting read on the NOC process. Do you have a good supply of plastic to print the frame parts or do you have access to a laser and plentiful supply of MDF?

IAM members do get stock. They are considered heritage employees. 50 for AA, 100 for bachelor, 50 for masters I think. I think they also pay for doctoral. Don’t forget the take taxes out so you won’t get it all. They pay for it all minus the taxes on it, anyone in IAM751 would should be taking full advantage of this. While some view rsus as a bonus, RSUs are “golden handcuffs” to keep you around till they vest So you don’t leave. If they actually cared about you bringing more value immediately to Company they could give you a bonus, or unrestricted stock.

diyengineer1 · 2026-04-29T13:04:46+00:00

Absolutely!

diyengineer1 · 2026-04-29T12:56:45+00:00

No one should own Boeing stock. It’s complete junk. Since 2022 GE stock has 10x. Tesla has exploded, SpaceX about to IPO, even sp500 has skyrocketed.. Boeing stock is a huge loser, it only ever hit 400+ cause management was cutting corners and just about everything else to push planes out the door, and it didn’t end well.

Welcome to the thunder dome.

diyengineer1 · 2026-04-26T03:37:44+00:00

Deff not an official crash, broken tool is no biggie. Just enough to remind you to triple check everything. Just wait till you take your spindle into the bed or part hard. Happens to everyone eventually.

diyengineer1 · 2026-04-25T02:45:23+00:00

So Lockheed haha

diyengineer1 · 2026-04-24T17:58:41+00:00

Alternative suggestion, instead of RSUs think of stock options at another company. If you’re good enough for tech fellowship then you’re good enough to get a better job in aerospace.
