      ...from General Dynamics, telling me about a job opportunity... at the location, and on the same contract I'm already working on. Did I mention that I already work for General Dynamics?

              If the Package was good means you can apply for it. BTW check for the appraisal here in india for us we are expecting more appraisal by the apr 11 if there is not that much appraisal planned to change the organisation. BTW check it out there the appraisal if time is there means check for the package and switch to it.

                      When I worked for the Pomona Division (now defunct), the Convair division in San Diego tried to recruit me. I should have taken the job, as they paid a lot better, and probably still exist.

                      Will Rogers never met me.

                                      From what I know, since junior positions involve little responsibility they come with a lesser pay package.

                                        You'd be surprised how often that turns out to be untrue. A couple of times in my career I found that new hires, fresh out of school, were being hired at a rate higher than I was earning after several years. A combination of external market forces, and internal cost controls can lead to a situation when annual raises don't keep up with talent shortages. That's when things get weird, and HR types don't understand that if they give you a 10% raise, but hire a newbie at 20% more than you're making, you're going to look elsewhere. That was one of the reasons I left General Dynamics, though not the most important reason, in 1983. I hired on in 1978 at $21k and received far above average raises for five years. But in the meantime the market changed, EEs became scarce, and they were hiring new grads at $34k - a bit more than they paid me after 5 years of service. It never occured to HR that maybe it was a good time to re-evaluate all salaries, and to adjust them to align with the current demand, as that would cost the company $$$.

                                        Will Rogers never met me.

                                          Wow that must be hard on senior employees. Doing things like that doesn't look motivating at all to those who have stuck with the company in it's good and bad phases. :(
