My experience in this industry is that it is not very kind to it's employees and contractors It's very boom and bust, between the big companies and contractors they employ they hire and fire thousands on yearly time scales. Long hours and mindless dedication to put in a lot of hours despite big misses by management leading to lots of cancelled half finished projects. Lots of work double time and weekends for 3 months and then they just shut it down anyway and expect you to find another job. In my experience other tech industries, particularly in the bay area, things like big tech, med tech, etc. are much better fields for technical professionals to get into
