He also told me that it was only a cost of around $3000 to get me a clearance

Sorry to derail the thread a bit, but from everything that I've heard they cost much, much more that 3 grand. Unless its a confidential which isn't more than a criminal and background/credit check.

From what I've heard it can cost anywhere from 30-150k (edit...looked this up, from what i can find on the internet its more like 4000-20,000 depending on circumstances, I guess word of mouth at work isn't worth much) to get the clearance through (it's a sometimes year long process) I could be wrong on this but that's the word from my employer.

Anyways, If you can get a TS clearance or at least Secret clearance with a job take it. It'll open a lot of opportunities should you ever want to change jobs in the future. They are usually good for a few years.

We've apparently got a couple of Jobs open in the MD (Baltimore) area. Posting says four positions. I could throw your resumes into the system if anyone is interested.

They are very, very good with relocation assistance. (Pay for hotel for 30 days after hire date starting the night before your first day so you can find an apartment/housing. All food paid for during that time also.)

And it's FE&S which means you'll get to travel if you want to (sweet, sweet per diem).

Seeing the same issue down in Northern VA. You would think $65k + security clearance would net some nice possibilities, but nothing but junk. Good luck, its a wasteland in the Metro DC area.

Gives me hope for the next time I go job shopping though

Well, isn't unemployment of the types candidates you're looking for in the area (I assume BS/MS, technical) pretty low in the Baltimore to DC to everywhere else? Baltimore shows about 7.5% (total) and DC around 6.5% (total) based on BLS. Also if you factor in that the unemployment rate for Bachelors or higher was like 4.6% (2009). It seems like there should still be some jobs for people looking, but I guess that any job opening could be getting flooded with applications of people who don't fit the qualifications.

My boss just sent me an email and my company is doing some pretty heavy hiring right now for Java Developers from entry level to mid/upper level, System Integrators and SOA (Service Oriented Arch.). There are at least 18 total job openings and something like 2050 total in the jobs system which you can look at after you get an account.

Most of these openings are for either CNS/ATM (Communication, Navigation and Surveillance/Air Traffic Monitoring) or C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance). Doing software development or related activities. Most positions also require some level of clearance which the company might help you obtain depending on the job. If you don't have clearance don't let it stop you from applying.

I don't work directly in either of these areas so I can't really comment on what you would do day to day. I also believe that all of the openings are in the Baltimore area. We also get every other Friday off.

I took out all references to the actual company name but if you PM/email me I'll tell you who it is.

You get an email saying something like "Click here to login to finish your profile" then the account is under your control and you can apply for any of the jobs in addition to the one that I referred you for.

Let's be honest. 80-110 is piss poor for anyone who has practical kubernetes experience, much less on the East Coast. Adding a requirement for a Master's just makes it worse.

You could find 100% remote work with a company that doesn't care what timezone you're in or whether or not you have a college diploma if you're a reasonable Linux admin with kubernetes experience (and the requisite CI/CD, background in storage/network scaling, etc that goes with the former skills).

I'm not judging asking for a degree. But "I have a degree so you should, too. We have 9999 candidates who bomb their interviews, but at least they have their degrees!" is dumb. I have a degree, so this isn't personal.

If reducing the stress on the rest of the team from being down a person and increased productivity from another body even if they don't have a high school diploma but can "walk the walk" isn't worth them giving up their "must have degtee!" talk, you should find greener pastures. They're definitely out there.

We have about 16 product development positions open now and probably starting in the new year, they all have at least one remote spot.

We are mostly an MS shop, so C#/SQL...etc. With some bigdata/NOSQL components, but I haven't personally worked with much of that yet.

Internet marketing, think emails, product recommendations, predictive analytics...etc. I believe over black friday and cyber monday we sent something like 1.4 billion emails and I forget how many texts, it's fast paced and interesting work (first place that I've been that has a good unit test practice in place) and all of the devs are really good.

The downside is, if you can't get a remote spot and are interested you'd need to be in south eastern PA, we are currently all remote and there are rumors that we might stay that way even after the vaccine is distributed to everyone (but I can't confirm any of that yet).

It's a pretty good place to work, the company and CEO are big on making it feel like a big family (winter party, summer family day, random cookouts during the summer), christmas bonus based on years of employment, very good vacation policy (2 weeks your first year, 3 weeks after your first full year, 4 weeks after 5 years I think, your birthday off), monthly gym reimbursement. Lots of room to grow no matter what you do. The product/dev team is somewhere around 60ish with probably a 6:1 dev to QA ratio and 15:1 dev to scrum manager ratio, so probably 45ish dedicated devs.

If we do every go back to the office, it's modern, subsidized food (all lunches are 6 bucks and way bigger/better than anything you can get close by) and drinks, on site chef/kitchen staff/coffee shop/gym. They have also started a new initiative to upgrade all of the developer machines to not completely suck.

If you have a good idea there won't be anyone stopping you from trying to implement it. Up until this year we also had an 'innovation fair/hackathon' every December into January where employees self organize into small teams and use production data to pitch new ideas (2-3 days of paid time to work only on your project), they are all heard by the entire executive team and then voted on by all employees. The top ideas either from the executive team or through voting are actually put on the roadmap to be implemented.

I'm not posting the company name here, because it's a small town and small company and don't really want where I work associated with my SA account, so shoot me a PM and I can send you the careers site.
