I am a currently PM at LM.I came from commercial sector, and hold active TS clearance. That been said, LM will be my last stint in Defense sector. I already posted why I am looking to move. Not gonna stir it anymore. I am not actively looking , but my background is I hold Double Masters in computer science and other one in Cybersecurity from Drexel. Both were fully funded. I have PMP, sec+, CEH, Aws professional, Azure architect. I work with data. TC 150K YOE 14 Location DFW.
I believe all of the CSPs are hiring TS cleared at much higher TC than defense contractors. Very different work environments and acquisition structures than traditional defense industry, and higher job security than staying where you are IMO.
What’s CSP?
Cloud service providers (e.g. Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Amazon Web Services)
Good luck, I am trying to get out of defense too, it moves slowly and there's not much innovation. The way contracts are structured is completely broken too and incentivizes loading tons of useless people onto programs.
yes, LM is having a talent crunch now. I am staying in . I have one other gig I do, so I am not worried much. But LM will be my last stint in Defense. Recession is making me much worried to move out too.
