What’s it like to become a Marine security guard for a US Embassy? I'm thinking about signing up but I first want to know the ups and downs of that type of job.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

I have a friend who spent the last 4 yrs as a stay-at-home dad caring for his special needs child. He’s ready to get back in the workforce and make a career change to IT. How does he get started?

Looking for guidance. I’ve been in people manager roles (in director/senior leader capacity) for the last 5 years now, and prior to that I was a “rockstar” Project Manager. I’ve worked really hard to get to the position I’m in today, but I’ve been recently asked to move from my current role to a senior IC role to take on a highly visible Program for the company, with some very senior stakeholders. I feel conflicted as it does feel like I would be backtracking in many ways. Thoughts?

Interested in becoming a Google cloud product manager. Here are my observations on the experience you will need to be considered.

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Anyone has insights into whether we can claim depreciation for our “home office” due to WFH? Not an expert here but looks like it’s for self employed individuals only, but maybe the individual tax experts in this community can help everyone out a bit 🤪

Anyone been part of a staff lending project before? I’m not sure what to expect but got a little freaked when I was asked to provide an updated resume

M/Boston. I’m 49 so apparently it looks like my last year in this bowl…

Making my first job move using a recruiter, is it typical that they are the ones doing the negotiating? Is this standard practice or is it frowned upon to ask to talk to the Company directly to negotiate a higher salary?

I accept follow requests left & right without following back and without shame. What does this say about me besides that I and, let’s say Beyoncé, are generally very similar?

As a Black woman in the military, how did you learn to deal with the policing of your hair?

How different are the physical requirements for men vs women? I'm thinking of the Navy specifically but would welcome insights from any branch of the military, thanks

In many ways, I feel the same as before I enrolled. I don't understand how because I've lived so many things since then, but at the core, I feel like it hasn't affected me. It's weird. Am I missing something?

There is a certain air of respect you get when you become a military professional. As long as you earn that respect, of course. But I like it, it feels good!

Can one become financially stable after being discharged from the military?

I always have faith that everything will make sense, and we will move into a better era. Sometimes it's challenging to maintain that faith, but it's always there.

What is the most realistically portrayed military story in a movie you’ve seen?

Ever since the Ukrainian invasion, I can't sleep well. Anyone else feeling this way?

If you had to choose between the army and the navy, which one would you choose and why?

Do military personnel in other countries receive more benefits than we do in America?

How do you quiet your mind? I find my mind still races at night and I have trouble sleeping

Do you think the military industry is sexist? I met more women in the air force than in other companies and none of them is a very high rank

Do you guys think that our country is being heavily militarized?

My cousin is in great shape physically and I know he could get through that part of basic training/boot camp but don't know if he could handle all the yelling because of past trauma he's been through. Thoughts / advice?

Getting disability rated…I retire next year and seeing the doc for all my issues. They’re listed in Genesis under my active issues. Does that automatically count for when I retire or do I need to get appointments addressing these issues again after meeting with the VA?

If anyone here is wondering how to best use their GI Bill... I HIGHLY recommend using the GI Bill comparison tool. Has anyone else here used it??

Do you ever regret pursuing the life of a soldier?

Many movies romanticize the sacrifice of one soldier and leave them as a hero, but I have always thought that I hate that. Why would someone need to lose his life to be a hero? I believe the mere fact that we put our life at risk in service is enough to be a hero

What's the biggest life lesson joining the military taught you?

I feel like I haven't seen the results of our efforts. The Middle East is still a mess. There's a war in Europe we won't take part in. Does anyone else feel this way?
