Qinetiq or DSTL?

Hi,

I am in my final year of a masters degree in Aerospace Engineering and I really want to become a flight test engineer. My question is what is the best route to take to do this? I have read the stickies and got the impression Qinetiq was the way to go with the trials officer position. However the people I have spoken to at grad fairs have said there is plenty of scope to get into FTE with DSTL. I understand becoming a full time FTE will not be a quick and easy journey and I just wanted some advice on which one would be best.

The way I have been looking at it is that Qinetiq has very strong links with ETPS but DSTL is linked to the MOD and therefore the forces themselves so there maybe more scope for trials.

Thanks in advance!
