I work at a consultancy and received a CJO with a three letter agency for a top secret position. It’s a huge paycut from what I make as a consultant. I can accept the CJO but I’m worried that they will contact my current employer and I’ll face ramifications at my current job. Has anyone navigated this? Should I just decline the offer if I’m not set ?

Do you want the gig or no? Confused by the post

Depends whether or not you believe them to be in scope. Some agencies will be untouched no matter what they do… TS roles are also less likely to go anywhere vs uncleared

You’ll have better job opportunities for the next 4 years if you’re a consultant…and why would you take a job with a huge pay cut?

What’s a CJO mean?

Contingent job offer was my assumption
