What kinds of opportunities are out there for those who can not obtain clearance? I’m early on in my career and I haven’t had much luck with getting clearance, not sure if it’s worth staying.

There are so many agencies that don’t require a clearance. Stay away from anything DoD/DHS/state/Intel etc

Could you pass a background check? Most all fed will require at least that

I can pass a background check, I have a lot of foreign family and my clearance has been taking a very long time to process.

I’m with a DoD client so I’m feeling the pressure to get clearance quickly, but it’s helpful knowing there are opportunities outside this space.

If you are new then it shouldn’t be your responsibility to get on a project. Having family outside the US always delays the process and your firm should’ve realized that before they put you on a project that requires a clearance. Talk to your staffing people and ask them to put you on a project that doesn’t require a clearance

What are your thoughts on invoking the rule of sequestration at a deposition in a case in state court? I have heard some attorneys argue that it is inapplicable, while others have argued that it does apply.

And does your answer change if the "extra" person is adverse to the deponent? For instance, a corporate plaintiff having two reps at the defendant's deposition.
