Transitioning to civil. There's a lot more laws, discipline and regulations involved as opposed to tech.
But lower pay right?
For sure. The engineering jobs typically have a lower pay and you'd have to start out as a junior, so higher income won't be a reason for the switch.
Lower pay but different sector with pension. WLB is much better overall.
