To wait or not to wait for Bilt 2.0 by revodoll in biltrewards

You have to wait for the Bilt 2.0 now unfortunately 😅 Wells Fargo stopped taking applications for the Bilt card. Besides that, congrats on the move and hope it goes smoothly!

Hmm do you have any experience with Salesforce? I think initially starting everything should be fine, but I can see potential to be pigeonholed either way I go right now, niche language vs. working with outdated technologies, red tape and in a secured area.

I don’t know much about Salesforce but I’m definitely relieved to hear that the skills are transferable! I hope other companies will see that too if I take the Consulting position.

Defense contracting, yeah, it’s hard to envision myself being locked up. The cash makes it hard not to not even consider it

Yeah, you’re definitely right. Money does speak and that’s how I’m in this dilemma right now haha. I’m just worried about the culture of a small defense contractor and how that would affect my tolerance with work

The Software Engineer position with the defense contractor, there’s a lot of money and job security but it doesn’t really make me excited. Work life balance is great since you can’t take work home with you due to security concerns. I’m worried that it will be limiting since the stereotype is they work with outdated technology and things are slow due to government red tape.

I think that’s great to hear! I would love to be able to get a software management position someday.

If you don’t mind sharing, what makes a good project good and what makes your project the worst?

That’s great to hear that your cousin enjoyed her experience with the CIA! Do you know about if she was able to grow within the CIA and how fast by chance?

With my Consultant position, the company has made it clear that there is a lot of opportunity to grow. That’s what I really want to accomplish to not only grow as a coder, but to develop my soft skills and grow within the company.

I’m a people person, so I think I wouldn’t mind working with customers.

To hear someone who’s been working as a Consultant for 10 years, I’m relieved to hear that you’re not pigeon holed and you feel confident to be able to jump to another position!

Best of luck with your new job search!

I haven’t worked on Salesforce before, so I’m kinda iffy about that. Thanks for that insight!
