What base are you interested in? It will make a huge difference the experience varies widely from one base to another.

as a general rule of thumb, if it’s already a base when you’re hired, getting an upgrade there is extremely unlikely for a very long time, as in double digits years, so expect to be in fo pay for a while. If you’re willing to move to a new base, things can be pretty good here, if not, it’s a matter of time until you get frustrated and leave imo
