Most fresh grads just want to make enough of a living wage to one day afford a house. Morals can be fucking expensive.
I mean, if your ethics are for sale, just skip to the end and work for Meta so you can get dat 200k new grad comp package.
Companies with ongoing military contracts may be much more lucrative in the long run.
The pay is shit or at most on par compared to tons of web dev jobs in e commerce etc. I make more aligning divs than my friends in aerospace and defense who are leveraging their advanced degrees. Abandoning your morals hardly even pays ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To be fair, aligning divs was historically a labor intensive process. Damn kids with their flexbox don’t even know…
In 2016 I started an entry level job in cybersecurity for a small Family-owned defense contractor making $55k. 7 years later in 2023 I’m working at one of the Big 4 defense contractors and I’m making $173K.
My degree is in criminal justice from a State School.
As long as you have a 4 year degree, can obtain Secret clearance, and can get CompTIA Security+ any defense contractor on the East or West Coast will take you.
Yes, I am a cog in the military-industrial complex which makes me part of the problem and not the solution, but I live comfortably and my family is happy, so I’ll sacrifice my morals for them.
My moral compass is calibrated to “Mad Scientist”
Evil Minion is a pretty good entry-level for that position
It very very much depends on the country you’re from. In Ukraine a better slogan would probably be “my moral compass led me to Lockheed Martin”
I applied to LockMart and they rejected me :(
For the last time, a picture of yourself riding a missile naked is not a job application. We are also seriously concerned about how you were able to obtain a missile in the first place.
