I've been at my current company since 2016 so decided not to switch for sake of money. Aerospace pays really well in general, better than most industries from what I gather, and I'm a non-technical / engineering person, was getting raked over the coals in oil and gas prior.

A company such as Boeing is so large, it's just not one company. It's a mix of subsidiaries through required corporate organization to acquisitions over time. So it really depends on which group you end up working for that will dictate what work environment you will have. Same goes with Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems. I suspect the same can be said of the other large defense contractors: General Dynamics, Northrup Grumman, etc. The ones prior I have either first hand knowledge or pretty close to it. |
I know what you're saying, know Boeing very well and work closely with some of the companies you referenced, on a day to day basis, I'm speaking in generalities because it's on a forum.
