Informally I was told I could get a 40% instant raise by joining a company like this. I bet it can be more than that though. I haven’t pursued it yet because I don’t think my skill is enough.



Defense contractors dont pay well. No stocks n peanuts bonus


All of that is false.

I've seen people doing that stuff get yearly pay that is about the price of a house. That is good pay. I've seen stock given, and I've seen bonuses that seem nice, but it makes more sense to focus on pay. The pay is fine.


I work in the field and maybe there are people out there getting paid like that, but that’s not the norm at all.
