Part of it is NASA struggles to pay competitive wages versus what some technology backgrounds can get you in the private sector. I know several people who work there and I used to work the launchpads myself until I got a better job.
And despite this it’s still quite competitive and has super high requirements still from what I saw. Not that it’s a bad thing but if you meet those high requirements you can get a much better job elsewhere
Precisely. If you are that compelling a candidate, there are other industries who are usually willing to pay more for the same set of skills.
