I made the right choice back in 2019 when they were recruiting optimechanics experts. It's a dumb idea.
Weird flex, but ok.
Yeah right. Surely it would have been a good idea to take the money for the last 5 years.
Why? I got a way better job that I like and it has no end in sight. I could retire on this one. Maybe.
Good for sticking to something you believe in. Highly underrated quality in engineers. "Take the money and run like a thief" is such a bullshit attitude
Im not an engineer but I am in development. I will do the best I can to make as good a product as I can based on the requirements but when it comes to what I will work on I am a total whore. Show me the money and tell me what you want honey. Ill do anything for the right price. No weapon stuff though.
Yeah the best jobs are all about doing something you like. The moment you stop caring much about being employed there, quality drops and your own reputation is on the line. It's much better to do what you love. Getting paid 🤪 for it, that's my wife's job. She pushed me in the negotiation phase to the point where I was so uncomfortable. But now I feel like that was ok based on the change I brought to others in the company. My pay bump raised the pay for several others. But anyway, do what you love and get paid doing it, like Chris Rock said once...or twice while getting paid to say it.
