Don't cut yourself short. So if u don't have lots of experience they may start u with simple fabrication, assistant to the big guys.
Precisely because they are small, Composites is not gonna be able to pay and have the nice benefit package that Boeing, for example is able to provide. Then if u have ALOT of experience, you are most likely used to do things a certain way, the "correct way" as prescribed by your previous large employer. Composites doesn't have time for you to do it the "correct way" (lots of measuring/lots of testing/) they are on a compressed time scale compared to the big guys. What SC is looking for is, u know your basic stuff packed down, your impatience to work with big bureaucratic organizations, you are willing to do it "not quite perfect" and know what's reasonable risk. And not looking for a big salary package.
