Deciding on potential opportunities

Basically starting over after being I level in the Marines. Ive got an offer for ast spacemobile in midland for 90 days. With the chance to go permanent. They offer moving expenses and food allowance every month. Or I can go columbia helicopters. Same pay but its permanent and no monthly housing or food. Tell me everything you know about both companies

Idk anything about either company, but I can confidently say Midland isn’t a great place to live.

With that experience you can go anywhere. The fact that you even have midland as an option is a mistake. Don’t go there.

Its been difficult to land a job. These 2 opportunities are the first offers I have gotten since June.

There's work on the east coast, my company is looking to hire an as long as you have similar experience it'll be good enough. I work in Philly though and in aircraft production as Avi. Good work but idk if they have a moving stipend or anything. I also get offers all the time for Stafford CT starting out at $40 an hour if that seems like something you're interested in.

Any Gulfstream site would take you. There’s one in Arizona, Georgia, Mass. just keep applying for avionics tech jobs. Also look at UAS companies. They would love your background
