Heard the sale of KBR MTS (GOVCON) SpinCo to CACI fell through. Maybe because we’re way too top heavy and don’t have enough substantial contract wins in our pipeline. Time to start looking for a new career?

I feel like I haven't heard much about KBR since the GWOT wound down. What do they have these days, some LOGCAPs?

Mostly LOGCAP and BOS work. Some interesting work with NASA. However, they have been struggling to get their Intel business off the ground, and it’s currently going down the toilet.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
