I am a government contractor and my contract just ended on Friday. I am trying to decide on my next move but so far I have an offer supporting CISA (contract is 2.5 Years less technical) and one supporting DoS (1 Year then re-compete but a more technical role). I have an interview with BAH for a Business Analyst role supporting DoD next Tuesday. I am trying to decide which agency and role would be the best.

Go for the money and the offer with the best long-term security. I must ask, is it common to wait until this late to decide your next move? Your contract "just ended on Friday." Is there a reason as to why you didn't have something lined up weeks/months before the end of the contract? Or did the contract end abruptly?

You definitely found offers pretty quickly. I'm sorry that happened to you. Indeed, look for better management on your next contract and look out for #1. Best of luck to you!

Definitely CISA

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
