For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Any good recommendations reference textbook vs. online training that explains machine learning theory for a non computer science math type person. Have someone in my leadership chain kinda high up who wants a deeper understanding of ML but won’t be building real world models. I am thinking of more a guide to understand various terms thrown around like neural network, gradient boosting, F-score. something deeper than basic definitions but probably not full blown linear algebra either. Any ideas?

Currently working with a large federal contractor (think along the lines of Leidos, Del, Booz). What are some growing pains I should expect working for a small to medium sized boutique firm focusing on cyber and cloud? For me it is a great opportunity to build some presales skills I don't have on my resume. But I'm worried about exit opps because of a lack of brand recognition. Also will be compensated well but the role is supported by overhead.

Got an offer with a 35% bump doing similar work and with the option with some remote (usually work in the office full time). Commute is a tad longer and its a small, young firm. I’ve always worked for the big guys — Deloitte, ACN. I guess the worry is the unknown of a small firm with only a handful of contracts. Granted I do hold a TS/SCI w/ poly, so if it goes bust I should be fine job security wise. Go for it?
