Aerospace. If you have a degree that is ABET accredited, don't smoke pot and can thus get a security clearance, and can answer simple programming questions and operating system / data structures question, you have a job. This industry is hiring every entry level software engineer that applies. It's not going to be all Rust, and it isn't going to use Redis, but it has it's own technical challenges. As a plus, you will move up quickly. Very high retirement rate for the next 2 decades. New graduate pay = $80 - $100 K. Stock is very rare. Moving expenses and a small sign on are possible.
