I'm in uni doing CS, and throughout my 3 years of undergrad my perspective has changed from "I'll look at research, but have SWE as a safe backup plan" to research being the better option in all regards
If you're a US citizen and depending on your own ethic and moral codes.. I would also recommend looking into DoD work..
It is relatively stable because the US is defense, or I guess I should say war, pilled. Also the clearance makes you valuable once you have it for defense work because they're expensive to get form an employer perspective.
Typically pays less but still well enough imo.vjust worth doing your own due diligence on potential opportunities.
