Have you put a hold on making big financial decisions while we see how things play out with this administration? We were planning to start looking for a home to buy this Spring but decided instead we'd start looking for more stable job opportunities. Anyone else put big decisions on the back burner?

Yeah I was working hard to buy a home and now I'm being laid off. I was working remote and moved snd was ready and built a community and am so happy and then bam... can never escape the toxic sludge of the city career. I also was going to buy more apartment stuff as i do every paycheck like water fountains, curtains, rugs, more plants, balcony swing, paint, wallpaper, revamp my summer clothes, vacations. I was going to WI to see Hozier in June and got the ticket, but now I can't. I was also going to Charleston SC and I cant and I was going to go home for Easter and passover (mother is Jewish, father is Christian), but I can't too bc of expenses so yeah pretty much my life is now on hold. I had big plans, but now I don't and once again I'm unable to see my family for important holidays which I'm getting sick of. Life feels like I can never get a firm grip on even when I do the "safe government contracting job."

So pretty much all expenses...... :(

I will say if I could buy a house rn, I would. Ik everyone's saying they'll get cheaper bc of a recession, but I think houses aren't looked at the same anymore. Everyone is fighting to get them. There's no renting suits some better. With the tarrifs if they go into effect critical supplies will be hard to get and with the mass deportations labor will be more expensive. That's just my guess.

Straddling the same boat. We own a home but looking into moving to a different county for better schools. Focusing on a plan B for employment given the current climate so home search is on pause.

Definitely not making any big purchases in the near future.

Yep, we were about to undergo a major remodel. We are no longer doing that and I’m pretty disappointed but not worth the risk.

We wanted to wait to buy a car until after things settle. Then one of our cars got totaled when it was double rear ended on the highway out of nowhere. 🙃

Am I still in the race for this role in your opinion with the details stated. Please message me if you would like to know more in detail.

Is there a problem to stay contract with your recruiting agency instead of converting to full time with the company? Should you push to get converted sooner rather than later?

Hello! I’m from South Carolina and I was wondering if there was any media companies/ productions that are currently hiring PA’s or entry level workers fully remote? I would love to work in LA more than anything, but I can’t afford to move there which means I’ll just have to stick it out in South Carolina for some time. But unfortunately, South Carolina doesn’t have many opportunities in the media/entertainment industry. Any leads, tips, or advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.

Guidehouse people at DHS, what kind of clearance do you need? How strict?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
