Currently a Staff/Analyst at EY and in the process of getting my clearance (I believe it's either Secret or Top Secret). A bit anxious about layoffs because although I'm staffed, my utilization is low

The higher the clearance, the safer you are. If they’ve paid for you to get a TS, you’re safe. Secret clearance is pretty common.

"The higher the clearance, the safer you are" is only valid if you actually hold the clearance... And your background investigation has to be current.

GPS is still hiring(slow though). You are fine.

What would happen to my clearance process if I got laid off in 2 months? They just started the process of interviewing the contacts I listed in my application.

So I was at a company and needed to jump as layoffs were coming. Find a company or firm that will pick up your investigation. The company picked mine up in the middle of my investigation and within 3 months I was cleared.

How will this work?

EY said no lay-offs

The government still has work to do and contracts are already funded. Chill.

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.
