That’s not true. Ask Qualcomm engineer that works in QCT or any Broadcom engineer that is in Rancho Bernardo or Intel engineer that works in Rancho Bernardo or many of the tech startups here or many of the defense contractors here (the ones that are left).
I know more defense contractor types than QC/BC people, and the former seem to work fairly normal hours. Just driving, I’ve also seen “rush hour” as being basically done by 6-6:30 pm, meaning that people leave before 6 pm.[/quote]
Defense contractors have gone up and down. When they get a contract, they are often under a gun. If they aren’t busy, chances they don’t have a large contract and their job is at risk. Just saying. Also, I wouldn’t want to be at a defense company in san diego right now, considering these contractors have been trying to consolidate near DC. Also, defense companies in SD have some of the worst compensation packages.
