Ok, honestly, how true is it that there is a real negative bias from recruiters/hiring managers when a candidate is unemployed for a several months gap since their last job ended? Do people just assume you were fired? Bc I’m likely going to have a 2-3 month gap since my last role ended and I only left my firm bc my contract got cut by DOGE, not because I got fired…

I mean wouldn’t you judge as well if you look on LinkedIn and see an employment end date with no new position ?

Very understandable, don’t sweat it

Just leave a bullet in that last role or add “contract ended” on the last month/year in the resume

NeedMore$:
I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?

I recently accepted a position at the company and have been working as a temp for the past 3 months. I really enjoy the people I work with and the company seems to really support its employees, however it is in a field that doesnt exactly align with what I would like to be doing. And unfortunately the compensation package is also lacking.

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.
