Never, ever put your SS # in an email. The only place you should ever enter that number is an encrypted Web form.

That’s fine, but your info needs to be transmitted to that 3rd party using a secure method, not in an email.

I think post tax deductions I should get around 4.5k per month.

Please advice.

Current CTC is 14.2lpa.
However I have a 9 yoe and current stack is GCP, Python,Airflow etc for data engineer.
If i switch chances are I can get a 20lpa+.

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
