Mitre TC in DC Metro area

Anyone has any good idea about Mitre TC in DC metro area for Lead Cyber or Systems engineer jobs? Glassdoor range doesnt seem to be correct as its very low as compared to big tech. I though govt contracting with clearances pays as much as big tech.

Close but nope. It will top out at 200k

Amazon NDaQ62 OP Jun 9, 2019

200k is for principal engineer or just lead/senior engineer in general?

Netflix LWkX80 Jun 9, 2019

Either.

Netflix LWkX80 Jun 9, 2019

You can make more if you contract for yourself and have relationships with gov big wigs

Amazon NDaQ62 OP Jun 9, 2019

Yeah that prob takes time to develop. These big tech companies pay so good that its hard to make a decision to get out due to comp. i feel like i am burned out and yet its hard to decide to leave.

FB hires privacy SWEs in DC. Try them

Amazon NDaQ62 OP Jun 9, 2019

Want to try and avoid big tech due to bad wlb 😞

Do you work in Cyber Security? Are you in the Amazon ASOC?

Amazon NDaQ62 OP Jun 9, 2019

Related but dont work directly in security. Why?

Coupang 🦖☄️😢 Jun 9, 2019

MITRE is usually very specific about their job titles. So if you aren’t directly in Security it may make it difficult to get in.

I’ve been doing Cyber Threat Intel at MITRE. Pay is no where near private sector/consulting, but my work/life balance is awesome. I laugh at my FB/Google Friends with all their perks when I can leave the job behind at the end of the day.

Thanks. Do you know how much a lead cyber engineer in Chantilly would be paid approx? Also is the work quality really good and fulfilling?

MITRE zRhK78 Aug 5, 2019

135-165 is prob the range. And work life balance is awesome

MITRE zRhK78 Aug 5, 2019

I make a tc of 200 at mitre as a lead staff. Pay is in the 150s

Any idea what the senior pay range is?

Amazon firefly123 Sep 29, 2019

How are you calculating TC? Base bonus and RSU is what’s usually in there and Mitre only really has the first. Maybe you count the generous retirement match but I still don’t see path to 200k as a Lead

MITRE zRhK78 Sep 30, 2019

Retirement and benefits (healthcare etc)

MITRE zRhK78 Sep 30, 2019

And social security apparently

Amazon BeffJezoz Oct 6, 2019

Does Mitre pay extra for security clearances?

MITRE zRhK78 Oct 6, 2019

Nope. Everybody hired at mitre is expected to be able to get a clearance.
