I work at Northrop Grumman as a Systems Engineer. I am currently a level 2 engineer and make ~112k. I recently got a new job and it's a job that I have been looking to get for awhile. However, recently I have been getting a lot of calls for interviews from different companies. I don't want to leave Northrop, would it be a good idea to use the job offers as a way to make a little more salary? Use it as "this is what the industry is saying I am worth". Good move or no?

To add on, I know 112k might seem like a lot to most people, but I live in Los Angeles where I'm the cost of living is quite high. I don't want to look greedy but also want to get more salary

One round interview on Zoom. Varies but simple questions with a focus on behavior. Technical questions were not that hard and they usually ask questions based on your resume. The interviewer was very nice and patient with my responses.

I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Melbourne, FL)

Interview

OOP questions, and resume coverage. Ties in whatever language you present and tailors the interview towards that. Then they cover personality and fit for the company. It is pretty relaxed for an interview and nothing like what I’ve had described to me for a FAANG position

Mine is $80/month UnitedHealthcare. I have a $500 deductible, $1000 out of pocket max, not sure about the rest. They had the option to where I could choose a higher level of coverage which I appreciate because I’ve been somewhere like what you have before and it SUCKED and was one of the reasons I left in the end

Interview

The jnterview process and hiring process took about 3 weeks, less structured than others. Still best to give responses in the STAR format. Try to be personable as they are looking for someone who is a good fit with the team as well.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman

Interview

An initial phone screen followed by an in-depth interview with a software engineer. Was referred by a friend. Liked the position and did well in the interview but...it seems like the position got canceled out of nowhere. Recruiter seemed totally unaware it would happen less than a hour before the position was cancelled. So good people but untrustworthy process.
