Not sure if I follow. Clearance for what?

Security clearance for govt work probably. Right OP?

@strategy1 Security clearance for a project. Apparently they haven't been given an official Booz email either but did sign an offer letter...idk this feels strange right ha

Started full-time*

Yeah campus hire signed an offer letter...clearance fell through but I'm worried if they think because they didn't get staffed that they went through drastic measures to find part time jobs lol I pray for him

Are you sure what s/he signed wasn't a letter of commitment as opposed to an employment contract?

You're welcome!

Agree with P1, sadly

I recently left the Army about a year ago. Did a DoD SkillBridge fellowship and accepted the full time offer because I was scared of not having a paycheck. About a year later, still at the company and I hate it. Don’t feel purpose and I’m working with recent college grads as my peers. How do I get a job that takes advantage of my experience, whereas mine currently views me as starting over?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
