Hey guys! So I have a Top Secret Clearance and recently joined Amazon in a position that doesn’t require it. Would Amazon offer to host my clearance considering that they are looking for multiple people with this type of clearance? I’m open to cleared work but was hired for a commercial Strategy and just not sure if I should bring it up? Thought?

Absolutely. If you switch roles to one where you can utilize your clearance, you get a $45k ANNUAL bonus.

My buddy joined commercial and switched so they could use their clearance

Thanks for clarification EM1

What is top secret clearance and where can I get some?

like

It's a government clearance. Necessary if you want to work with the DOD or Intel Community clients. Takes years to get and most can't qualify.

Amazon almost certainly wouldn’t sponsor a TS unless you’re in the running for a role which requires it.

Obviously. Perhaps my comment was better made under the other comment asking what is a TS and how it can be obtained - but it’s clearly not known by everyone.

OP- Did you talk to the recruiter or the HR team before you joined if Amazon can hold your clearance. What steps needs to be initiated by Amazon so your clearance is active?
