What are you trying to do for work?

I am a national security contractor but I want to work on policy long term. I've read a lot in law enforcement but theory seems to be lacking compared to military theory so I wanted to see if anyone had recs

Yes. Join a federal LEA and they’ll issue you books for free 👍

For fun read the DIOG or just spend a lot of time going through DOJ press releases to understand the various courts, what cases they often hear, and how they rule. Like Judge Zia is such a badass and I love his opinions. Policy in law enforcement is set by court rulings and investigative frameworks.

Used bookstores tend to have big sections on that in the DC area

Read up on fisa law and go work with the fbi 😊

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Question:
If you had a secret clearance, but take a job where all you need is public trust. Secret will not be active anymore.

If you are looking for jobs that require a secret clearance, can you say "yes, you have one" since the investigation is good for 10 years?

Seems kinda gray since current job doesnt have it, but there is an investigation out there good for 10 years. Anyone know?
Thanks
