They’ve been relaxing a lot of the guidelines lately (this year specifically) because they realize that unnecessarily eliminates a large talent pool. From my understanding.. >1 year of no usage for mj (might even be less now) and >2-3 years for anything harder

M2 you still need to disclose everything going back the past 7 years. What I’m talking about are the adjudicative guidelines.

Anecdotally I know a handful of folks with TS that used to smoke. I’m pretty sure the officially unofficial policy with most places is be honest and see what happens. Like if you haven’t smoked in a decade then it’s probably immaterial.

Even if it's only been a year or two I'm sure it would be fine if you're just coming out of college. They have you add on more character witnesses to state you havent done it in a while but know that you used to (at least from my experience)

I would say depends on last use and if you’re honest about your drug use when you’re filling out the form. If you’re drug use is something other than Weed. I think your chances are low to obtain one

Not all TS include poly but you might as well just be honest and hope for the best. Again, if it’s something else besides weed, it’ll be rough for you to obtain a clearence

It’s hard to understand COVID-19 rates of infection where I’m at or was, and the contracts was not inline with corporate ideals at least not in the IT sector. Their ideals was radical and the spread of harmful information on past events to prevent ethnicities to get vaccinated was alarming. It has highest infection rate in private sector. Don’t know death rates was strictly remote and put on non-sanctioned project NDA wasn’t signed and never knew until it came down the grapevine.

4 YOE in Federal consulting. Currently a C at $85K and just received a 5/5 performance review with super positive feedback from my team and leadership. Noted that I was the top performer and was doing stuff at a senior level.

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.
