In addition that kind of basic stuff, I think they do a character investigation and check to see if you're generally trustworthy. From what my references told me, the investigator was primarily concerned with whether I was trustworthy, if I had any negative foreign ties, and whether I could be blackmailed.
That’s good stuff to know , that’s actually great on them for taking that step. I had immigrant parents growing up , so I traveled to Italy a lot growing up. But I called the consulate in Boston and filled out the paperwork to renounce my dual citizenship. I don’t foresee me having any issues, but that’s a story for another day. I need a pro-rec Y first, there is lots of prospective talent in this board. We will have to see.
Yeah I ain’t said a peep to my boss. I actually just recently changed jobs too (for a pay raise and other reasons).
I also work in the aerospace industry. My employer isn't finding out until I give my two weeks. I don't think it's really burning bridges to switch jobs. But either way, at the end of the day you're a cog in a machine to your employer, and that relationship should go both ways. Don't kill yourself or miss out on raises/promotions for your employer, because if there's a recession and people stop buying planes, or the project you're working on gets cut, your employer will have absolutely no problems with cutting you loose and saying "yeahhhhhhhh sorry, we're gonna need you to clear out". My unsolicited advice of the day.
Would your advice change if the company you’re working for is a start up?
I think it depends on how personally you’re invested in it. As an active co-founder in a startup, I’m kinda doing the opposite and trying to figure out how to delegate/automate/transition myself out, and when to do it depending on board results.
Agree with @Maze_soba . Again, it's a two way street, and of course if you're working for like, your friends, that's a different scenario. Just honestly ask yourself that if things got rough, would they be there for you? If so, then yeah, there's no problem looping them in on your plans to make your transition out as smooth and easy as possible. But I'd say that that's kind of the exception. I think most of the time as an employee you're really just a means to an end, and selling your time and expertise is a business transaction with your employer. But you're the only one who really knows your relationship with your employer, so you do you man.
How many selects do you think there will be on this board of about 200-250? The dashboard said 40 SNA per board in FY23 but last time they picked 100.
They picked about 100 last time as that was the number they were given to pick. It is a guide but the more they pick now the less they have to pick later, and the number given is a NRC number for selections, which differs than a shipping goal, the difference could result in people waiting a long time to ship.
How many SNFO spots did the dashboard say per board for FY23?
