Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but my last job was in gov contracting (think Booz Allen Hamilton type of place) and I’m wondering if I’m allowed to 1) list the agency I worked with/for as a staff aug on my resume and 2) share the name of the agency in interviews….? I wasn’t working with CIA, and I was not doing top secret cleared work or anything, and I am not disclosing any sensitive work I did in my resume bullets. Can I mention client name or should I just say “federal client?”

I would definitely reach out to human resources and ask specifically about their policy. I'd hate to find out the hard way that you're not following it. They might not have an issue with it, and you can put them down, but they might and you definitely want to ask how they would prefer to be referred to.

Anyone joining cerner for client support in coming days?

Hi, I’m looking to switch into marketing (entry level), as consulting is not aligned with my skill set/passions. Does anyone know of any ad agencies in LA that have good work-life balance, good pay, PTO, great culture, promotions, training? Your help means more than you know!!! Looking to do informational interviews and try to network my way in, as I feel the barrier to entry was much harder than anticipated. Anything helps, thank you so much!

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
