from the that-isn't-too-ridiculous dept.

Student developers were polled via 80 spring 2016 hackathons to asses how they feel about their career options. Some of the key finding were:

  1. 83% of students said they were looking for fulfilling careers, rather than simply for jobs.
  2. Students plan to stay an average of 2.9 years at their first full-time job.
  3. Students predict that they'll stay at later jobs for 5 years on average.
  4. Students expect to earn between $70–150K right out of school.

Details of the Devpost study can be found here.

    All I was told is that the primary contractor worked for "The Client". The Client wanted "The Boards" from the primary contractor. I did a completely unclassified subcomponent whose mil-spec you can FTP from an Air Force base.

    I speculate I know who The Client is. I won't say, because then The Client would have me sent to GitMo.

    There's lots of defense industry in the Portland/Vancouver area, for example Sikorsky makes helicopter interiors here. It's just that those folks don't advertise on Craig's List.
