What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.

I once applied in February and got the job in June. It's a SLOW process.
The person contacting me is a manager that requested my professional references. It’s odd because I’ve never heard of requesting that info before an offer or interview. Some people do things different.
Some agencies are trying to fill vacancies quickly because of the upcoming change of administration and condensing the usual steps in the hiring process. So they are requesting the references, so they will have that information along with your interview performance to be able to make a quick decision.
Something told me to check with the HR contact today and the lady said none of my references she could reach. I asked if she left a voicemail for a returned call or emailed either of them. She said she’d have to check she was not sure it was her counterpart doing my references. I don’t want to make a big deal of this. I just can’t believe the indifference of these govt employees. I would hate to be overlooked for an interview because of their malfeasance.
Who’s asking personal or professional?
After the interview you should hear something within 3 months

It can take several months with the government unfortunately. I woudl reach out to them and ask about the timeline because they can give you a better idea but it will likely take a while. The government is notoriously slow in the hiring process.
