I've worked at the same engineering firm for 4 years. I'm currently making $161k with only a $750 bonus, but excellent vacation (4 weeks, cash out anytime, rolls over indefinitely), 45 hours a week. I have an interview with a recruiter at Guidehouse this week for a Technical Project Manager role. It seems to be focused in the government space and requires a security clearance. What sort of salary and benefits could I expect for this sort of role at Guidehouse?

Any money you we any to spend in the next year or so, move to cash.
I’m assuming your ETF/Mutual funds are stock-heavy. If so, if it were my money, I would gradually move it to Bond ETF’s, such as BSV, BND, or BLV, depending on your risk profile. That way, you get some return on investment, while reducing risk.
Moving it from stocks all the way to cash is a little drastic, IMO.
Is that your entire liquid net worth to use for a down payment? If so you should definitely move to cash with that time frame
No I have another 10k sitting in HYSA and I’m going to aggressively save for the next 10-12 months
I’d put a trailing stop loss on anything you have in the market and set at a fairly tight risk tolerance (e.g., 5%) since you have a short-term need for this money. This takes the emotion out of it.
Everyone should do this with every investment they have in the market, although not all at 5%.
