Anyone used movers in DC and can recommend?

This is timely. We just moved on Friday. We used Our Guys Around Town and they were awful. If anything take this as a lessons learned post. First we had a completely inaccurate estimate for time and cost. It might as well have been a shot in the dark. Second, ask about the waiver to not wrap your furniture during the move. For us, we were moving 1.5 blocks down the street and didn't need all our furniture wrapped, and we didn't really care about damage because we're in the process of buying new furniture anyways. If you're moving longer distance, maybe you would want better protection for your furniture. Finally, we probably should've babysat them more but they sure were taking their sweet damn time with everything. It wasn't until we said "we're running behind because we're going to lose street parking permit" that they started to speed it up. We had another friend move that day from DC to Silver Spring in 4.5 hours, and it took us 6 hours to move 1.5 blocks.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
