Computer Engineer

I’m a Computer Engineer for the US Navy. I have almost 8 YOE. I specialize in Software QA Engineering. Was wondering if I should apply as a Lead or Sr. Have lead on teams for about 5 years. I’m looking for a referral to EY. I wanted to know if someone can refer me to the Westlake Village office. Strongly prefer position that is 100% remote.

Vice President

All I want to be is Noogler, I have been doing Analyst and Program management work for the last 4 years at a bank and it just feels so soulless a lot of the times..I came from doing 10 yrs in the US Navy even though the money is much more I still feel like I want to be apart of something more, I feel like I'm doing a lot busy work for very little gain..Just my little morning venting session happy new years all..

Pros
Stable employment and income, upward mobility, great medical benefits, free education, good pay/compensation, outstanding retirement.
Cons
Lack of work life balance, stigma that comes with being in the military, family is not a priority. Orders do not guarantee you families stability. I love the Navy, but personalities can often make things worse than they need to be, a bad CO, Chief or Department head is the equivalent to having a bad boss in the civilian sector.
