It's all fun and games until the business guys decide to run signature pages and miss the mezz loan docs and member consent until 3 days before closing. And LC grills you about having originals 1bd before closing (like you reminded the business guys 2 weeks ago)

Thinking about applying to a fed consulting job. It doesn’t specify which security clearance I will need, but I will need one. My spouse works for a foreign company (here in US) that is listed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). She is not a citizen of that foreign country, but just works at this company in middle management. Is this an automatic disqualifier for me to get a security clearance?

Hi Everyone!

Not that I am planning to relocate anytime soon but wanted to have your thoughts on which country you think is a safer option to relocate to?
Earlier I was interested to move somewhere in Europe but with the whole Russia and Ukraine situation and now possibility of Sweden and Finland joining NATO and Russia telling them not to, I don't think Europe might be a good option in the coming years.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
