Has anyone ever done a trust through MetLife Legal with our benefits? I would love to use it for a trust as it’s only $150 a year.

I recently stated helping another program along with some Collins work. Both have approved over time and since I’m remote it’s pretty simple working 60 hours a week. I’ve noticed alot of my coworkers are doing Exempt OT as well although I’m not sure how much. I am getting my work done and I’m also one of the people leading the with the work load so is not like I’m doing time card fraud, I’m just curious how many of you are regularly doing OT? My previous section did not allow it due to the recent layoffs so going from barely making 40 how to having 60 available feels wrong maybe? My section feels closed off to everywhere else so I really don’t know the politics of this.

Too afraid to ask HR… If I’m planning to leave the company, do I need to wait until Jan 1 to receive a bonus, or the usual March-April timeframe (after performance and merit) to get it? Has anyone started a new job close to the end of the year?

Hey all,

I recently got recommended to apply to RTX roles from a friend, which I did, and after the interview process I got an offer for Mechanical Engineer I at Rhode Island. The base salary is $89k with a relocation package of $4,500 for any type of relocation expenses, and a lump sum of temporary lodging for 15 days with no meals included.

This is a very good opportunity for my career, but I live in Texas, so this could be a full relocation across the country for which I am worried about the moving expenses. I've been unemployed for 5 months and this is the only job offer I have at the moment.

What do you guys think about the relocation package? Are relocation packages provided by Raytheon fixed or is there some flexibility for negotiation? How do I approach this to my recruiter?

Any advice/tips are welcome.

Im graduating May 2027 but I received 2 potential entry level engineering offers for the same salary (minus relocation); one in Tucson and one in Huntsville. I’m from Huntsville so I know a bit about the area, but I was wondering if there’s insight about living in Tucson. How is it as a city? How is it for young adults and for social life? Part of me wants a new environment but I don’t know nearly enough about the city or climate. Any insight is much appreciated 🙏🏾.

I am graduating with my BSME in May and have been applying to many RTX jobs (mostly Raytheon). Lots of my applications say they are under review but no interviews yet. I have completed a Co-Op at Collins and an internship at Pratt so personally I think I'm a pretty good candidate, but I wanted to see if the community had any thoughts on what I could do to make myself stand out. Thanks!

I recently interviewed in the final round, and I'm currently waiting on a decision. I got good feedback from the recruiter last week who stated he's waiting on more information, but I'm starting to feel less optimistic due to the long period of time.
