How hard is it to get promoted to a manager at EYP? What are the standards and do you have to hit the billable hours goal (given there are inevitable bench time between projects). Thanks!

Not hard. It’s basically forced promotion due to body count needs. I’m a Y3 consultant and would love to stay here for awhile.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
