Does anyone work in Aerospace/Defense? (1 Viewer)

[BBTown Bomber]

Yeah that sounds terrible haha.
The biggest issue is our kids. They start their school/daycare at 830. I need to be at my work by 730 and with her drive of 2-2.5 hours she will have to leave by 6 or earlier, so we have no way to get the boys to school.

Not to mention that its at least $1k/month pay cut

2-2.5 hours to drive 50 miles??? 😱


I would either change jobs or KMS, just based on that fact alone. Fucking I-25/ Hwy 36 traffic……😠

Most talent acquisition folks I know have worked across various industries. While it may not be ideal is that an option?

@HuskerGarrett as you're aware I'm in TA myself, so I'm sure you know industry transferability is one of the advantages to being in TA. Unless she's made too many contacts in that industry?

I certainly wouldn't stay with that company, because there are too many options.

 

[2010sarenevercoming]

I'm in TA myself

I'm also in T&A.

 

[Tyneb23]

[Red Finger]

Tell her she will not have to work anymore. The empire is rising…

She want to try to stay in it just because she enjoys it, but yeah it’s definitely an option. She was in the pharmaceutical industry before for 7 years or so

I just sent you a DM. At this rate, Garrett's wife will be hiring for a porta potty company.

I'm also in T&A.

Jesus Christ how many of us are there on here?

I was my entire career too until these past couple years. I was in the construction industry

Off topic and a long story, but my wife works remotely in Aerospace Talent Acquisition and her company has decided that everyone has to suddenly commute to the office. It's in Boulder, 50 miles each way so it just makes no financial or personal sense for her to stay at that job. Just figured I'd see if anyone had any connections here.

Have her look at Lockheed Martin - probably a better drive for her/your family. No idea if they’re currently hiring though

 

[AleksMarićEnjoyer]

I'm not in the industry, but my former roommate and his girlfriend are both at Lockheed Martin here in Denver. I believe their campus is down in Littleton. Happy to reach out to them.

That would be awesome if you could. Thanks man

First thing I’d do is have her resign the current job and see if they try to counter to keep her on. If they counter tell them only way she’s staying is if fully remote arrangement is available (make sure it’s contracted and signed). If they don’t counter or won’t budge on being remote then on to the next. It’s just like with girls, you gotta show these companies you don’t give a fvck about them. You have to show them you will walk away if you don’t get what you want. No matter how hot they are.
