That's tight I used to work in the engineering field years ago when I was going ro school. For Boeing on the C-17 in long beach, ca and Garrett engine boosting systems in Torrance, ca. Those jobs opened a bunch of doors for me, but I always loved architecture. Right now the market sucks for me but hope fully it'll pick up soon.

Hey if anyone ever needs an architect let me know!

Grambles - if you work for Hyundai or Mercedes, sooner or later you end up driving a Hyundai or a Mercedes. What is the plan? Give the GTI to the fiance? (to replace the 2004 Camry!) She can drive the GTI until she needs to upsize for a Routan in a couple of years.

In all seriousness I used to know an engineer from the Porsche club who got a job with Saturn. Ended up driving a Saturn SL2. He used to take it on the track with the Porsches. He did OK since he was a good driver.

Good luck with either job.

I appreciate it man. They way I see it is...I'm going to keep the GTI. Might get the wife a car through either company (C-class or A Sonata) but I love my GTI too much to trade it in for a Genesis Coupe (unless they get that new turbo engine going, then I might consider).

UPDATE:

Still talking back and forth waiting for an answer from Hyundai. Got another Offer from the Government (Air Force to be exact) about a software engineering position for the entire Air Force. Not bad pay. Who knows.

I'll keep yall updated

 

[TDI110]

government jobs usually come with perks, consider wisely! And good on ya man. See education is paying off... no pun intended.

Yeah the fact that I'm a Mechanical Engineer and would doing a software position is making me apprehensive

 

[TDI110]

Ach so... well, stick with cars

 

[grambles423]

Seems I found out some more information about the FED job.

Its a strickly Software Engineering 2 year training position then I'm free to do what I want. NICE pay and big time benefits. Hyundai cant match them, so it might look I'll become a fed.

lulz

Anybody know relatives or friends that work for the government.?

Any Software guys that can chime in with detials about what they do? I want a general idea of Software Eng. only because I'm a BS. Mech Eng.

 

[TDI110]

If the price is right, why not right?! Could they give you a conditional offer after the two years, provided that you do a good job? 2 years sounds a little temporary imo. But hey if the price is right and expectations are met, go for it :thumbsup:

 

[grambles423]

Its not a temp job. They train me to move into the second phase and basically make all the software for the Air Force.

The price is epic, and I think I'm going to take it

 

[TDI110]

well now that you put it that way. Do it! heh congrats?

 

[grambles423]

No hyundai decision. Took the government position in a heart beat. However, I'll be commuting 180 miles a day.

Thank God I kept the 06 civic.
