Ex-aerospace engineer here, now software developer. This is one major reason why a lot of younger folks at Boeing leave (at least the ones with a more broader view of their industry).

A lot of "engineers" at Boeing are actually project / program / product managers and can pivot to similar roles at tech firms. The stress engineers have it a lot tougher.

Well, there's always automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, etc.

For mechanical engineers, market is not great, but not too bad I guess.
