Trying to make up my mind about something and I thought I'd ask the opinion of the forum. Here's the situation: Linkedin keeps sending me a job recommendation for an engineering position at a rapidly growing laser company that happens to be within driving distance of my home. They've been sending me the same job for ~ 5 weeks now with ever higher pay offers. A former co-worker is now an engineering lead there and I suspect from our conversations they may be targeting me for the job based on their recommendation.
The starting pay they're now offering is almost twice what I make now. Close to 200 kilodollars/year. And the job itself sounds like soooo much fun. Building and testing multi-kilowatt prototype fiber laser systems and developing them for production. But here's the catch, the work is being done for the DoDs directed energy weapons systems program.
While I'd love to spend my time playing with absurdly high power lasers I don't wanna do it for the DoD. But, but, but, so much $$$
So, whaddya think folks?
