This is insane. An opinion piece I know, but if this is even a little bit true I can't imagine what the next four years will look like. It boggles the mind to think about dissolving the civil service system. Do you think it's even possible for Trump to replace it?

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.

They reduced the therapy questions on the secret clearance form so that you don't have to disclose therapy except in specific circumstances. Is it still on the TS form?

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.

Can any Peraton 🐠 help me understand the level structure? I see a Senior Principal role I'm interested in but not really sure the comp and where it falls on the totem pole. TIA!

Was recently offered a job in Hawaii that would be a much larger role than I currently have (deputy chief architect). The downside is the cost of living is nearly double my current location and I would only be getting a 40% pay increase. Do you think it’s worth giving up quality of life/spending value decrease to accept the larger career and possibly expedite my career progression?

Hi all!! I am a first year master of urban planning student with a focus in economic development, spatial planning, and geospatial analysis and visualization (GIS, SPSS, R).

Does anyone work in this arena and would be willing to chat with me? Thanks so much!! Enjoy your Saturday 😊

Regarding these interviews: I’ve smoked pot exactly once, about 15 years ago. Do no other drugs. If I disclose that when I ask, is that a problem?
