I worked in consulting for 4 years before switching over to industry (real estate analytics company). I’ve been at my current job for 6 months. During the time I was interviewing with my current company, I had applied to Northrop Grumman. They finally reached out and want to interview me. The role would be for the DoD and I’d be submitted for a secret clearance. Is it worth it to interview/switch? There’s definite pros and cons between them & my current job but anyone have more insight into NG?

Brother is at NG and loves the work, has great coworkers....is clearance secret or TS? Secret moves much more quickly than TS. Never hurts to hear their offer.

Def interview and see where it goes - those clearances and contracts can take so long that you may be waiting another 18 months until they bring you on.

NG is a great outfit, have a few friends there. Well run, cool work, kinda bureaucratic like anyone working for government contracts, but people tend to stay there for awhile and have long careers.

I'm currently working as an electrical designer in the MEP industry. I really don't like it and I'm working towards a career change which I'm actively applying for and getting certified etc. However, it's been a slow process and I'm currently underpaid where I am so would it be wise to make a lateral move to another MEP firm simply because they offer me more money while I still look for a different job separate from this field? Or just tough it out?

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
