Leidos contacting me for some job I applied for 3 months ago when I was unemployed, saying their AI bot will get in touch. Clueless and tone-deaf.

They could have mitigated it somewhat by saying something slightly less stupid, like, 'While your prior job application was not accepted, there may be other opportunities which VIOLET can share with you after a brief chat.' vs offering a status update on a clearly dead end application.

(I got a job elsewhere anyway months ago)

What would you suggest that I do to get my first entry level position?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
