I work in the cleared (government) space and wonder why I don't see too many post pushing this industry... Thoughts?

Another reason could be there is a good amount of tech workspace who are immigrants and they don’t have a chance to work for companies in the government space.

I've always been interested but never really got my foot in the door so gave up. Still want to try down the line though

I got put on a mess of a project my first job out of college. Since then it’s kind of put me off to it. Felt like it was detrimental to my growth and development

Well first off the cleared space is cleared. And the majority of people are not cleared. The money isn’t good. And most people with the skills either worked there and left or are still working there but are abiding by rules of keeping it hush hush

I said this on another comment earlier, but I will admit you won't make $400k in government spaces, but you definitely can make $200-$300k pretty easily.

Also, getting cleared actually isn't difficult, just have to find the right company

Also, the sponsorship isn't expensive. A company will tell you that but they aren't the ones performing your poly and investigation

I can only speak from my experience with this particular agency but it is 11 years (total) of experience in the cleared space

Because it's immovable

Can you elaborate?

Just got a call from my recruiter after a final round interview saying that they wish they could hire me and the hiring decision was a “yes” but they’ve reached their hiring quota for the year. They said they would call me back at year end to talk about 2023 opportunities and I wouldn’t need to interview again.

Has this ever happened to anybody else? Should I even get my hopes up that they’ll call me back at end of year?

Hi everyone! Just looking for some insight. I’m about 4 years into HR, have my bachelors. I’ve been toying around with the idea of getting my masters in something relating to compliance/labor law and that side of HR. Shrm certification is also on my list. If anyone has some advice on what to get a masters in specifically, I’d be open to suggestions! I’m trying to find something that would be worth my while and would give me a step up. Thanks!

I received offer from optum with 28.5 fixed and 20% variable over it. But joining date is end October, so will I be getting variable pay this time(means next year in 2023)? or do I have to wait for next appraisal cycle because that would be in March 2024.

I’m currently in Underwriting but I’m thinking of switching over to the corporate risk management side. Is this something I should do? Any advice would be welcome.

Looking to pivot from Meta asap. Between the culture and the industry, I’m nervous about the state of the company. I literally had a client randomly text me, “hey, what’s the future of Instagram?” In plus Meta is on a mission to push people out by increasing performance goals in order to weed out employees. Anyone feeling just as nervous about tech as me? What are you all thinking as a next move? I’m new to tech and don’t have much intel on companies with the best culture & comp. Please help

Hi,
I just started this job as a graphic designer for a small printing company. Since working there, I've already had to perform other tasks besides graphic design. The company is really short-staffed so occasionally "everyone has to chip in" so to speak. I don't mind helping out but sometimes it happens a bit too often.
On top of that, the art department is in the same space as the sales department. So the sales lady is always giving her opinion about how the creative process should go.
