What should be my target compensation? I have MBA, master comp, science and 12 yoe. I am currently making 130 as M1. I live in northern Virginia and I do have ts sci clearance but no poly and don't want to get into that mess. I have development experience and some management experience. Some TC offers I have seen is ~180k. I started casually looking for a month now but want to go full speed.

I did interview loop for TPM roles at Amazon but didn't make it due to lack of project management.

TS/SCI is worth it.
I only have a BA from a state school, 8 YOE and currently making 130 as well. Stress free and could make more if I went to another company.
Left Deloitte last year.

I have sci but no full dcope

Also amazed at how little they are paying you. Even in a LCOL market, I would expect at least 150

I am going through capital one loop and would be considered for couple of engineering roles but I think TC would be around 160 minimum before bonus. I don't want to get into a new job and be salty about compensation already. I could build more skill set then hop. I would honestly be content if its 200k+ at this point. Am I overreaching? I think being in this hybrid role probably hurt me where I am almost jack all trades... thanks!

Subscribed, this is exactly where I’ll be in 7 years except with a CI poly.

Shocked at how little you're making. 180k should be minimum target, up to 250k+ if you can get into a Microsoft. Even Booz could get you to 180k as a non-supervisory Lead Associate on a cyber account. Should also look at AFS, which pays better than Booz.

I did do Microsoft but they require full scope. I am hesitant about it. I do hear there's backlog so I could join and learn a lot then either switch or leave if I have to do full scope?

And how long should I search before giving up maybe take sub 200k? 180k? I did read average job seeker takes 9 weeks but I feel opportunities may be less as I move further...

I’m regards to this post, what pays more, defense contracting, consulting, or FAANG?

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback

Dilemma… I left my old company 4 months ago. Today, they’ve reached out to me to ask me to come back at a higher role, Operations Manager.

However, this role would be hybrid (2x in office) and come along with more responsibilities and hours than my current WFH role which is very chill. The pay is only 15% more than I currently make. Any thoughts?
