I got a Raytheon for missile targeting systems. Didn't want it on my conscience and got another offer for slightly less money but way more ethical of a company a week later.

Sweet, glad that worked out for you. I've learned for certain types of work I gotta ask whether it's on the attack vs defense side of military work; at least a couple of interviewers have been taken aback by such an apparently blunt question, that it "isn't such a relevant question".

In my mind, both times I was wondering why they thought I'd be happy with coming to work every day if it was for something even possibly negative. Engineers get paid to pay attention to details, the fuck wouldn't I be able to piece this shit together from within?

Compartmentalization is a cute concept on paper. ๐Ÿ™„
