Just moved to the DC area and my first project is on FedRAMP and ATO. How big of a market in terms of growth, job security, and compensation is federal compliance?
For context, 10 years of PM, sales, proposal experience, cloud certs, no technical experience. Any guidance is helpful!

Enormous. You have new FedRAMP guidance dropped today. CMMC is in rule making shortly with tens of thousands of DIB companies subject to it. Executive Order 14028 means May '22 will see SSDF acquisition requirements in the FAR (SP 800-218). This will also require commercial SBOM for IoT devices. Final FAR CUI rule is imminent which will effectively subject all of the USG supply chain to NIST security requirements (SP 800-171).

Cybersecurity is front of mind for USG as we continue to get our asses kicked. The USG has one tool - regulation (and executive orders/rulemaking). If you can't see the opportunity here, you should move into real estate. The GRC work is the most impactful and opportunity ridden.

I second A1. If you learn those controls inside and out and pay attention to what it takes to implement them you’ll learn a ton.

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?
