Potential employer wants to hire me but contingent on work being awarded which they expect is in July. I was told they’re the only one going for prime on it and client reached out for them to try it? They made it sound like a very solid chance, is it really based on what they said? Offer is attractive but I’m concerned on the contingent part. Anyone experienced in proposals insight on this? First time dealing with it.

Stay at your current job and keep applying for other position (sold and funded) since nothing is guaranteed in the government contracting world (especially in the current times).

Happens all the time in the industry. People are even included in proposals as contingent hires.

You stay at current position until the work is awarded.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

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.
