I'm coming up on a year here. shit sucks. I've been doing a lot of LeetCode - hoping to do all of NC 450 in the next couple of months. I've also been going through DDIA and system design interview books. I don't have a TS or TS/SCI so I'm not eligible for federal/clearance roles at microsoft/amazon/OCI/splunk I haven't heard anything back from Anduril and got rejected from Palantir... I've been targeting entry level roles, but there aren't many out there... TC 85k🥜 #defense #microsoft #amazon
Does FAANG hire from defense?
I've heard of it, I know a few defense -> Microsoft and even defense -> Meta
Thanks. Did they all have security clearance?
NC 450 as in 450 questions? Damn the bar is definitely higher than I remember.
it's probably excessive, but I do like doing LeetCode and have lots of time. that, and anxiety over how high the bar must be nowadays with all this competition
In the good ol' days the blind 75 was more than enough, even for this former GD midwit to get in
Gonna come down to total YOE at this point. If only 1 year most FAANG aren’t hiring anything under 4 years of experience right. Ie.
Go consulting? Do you have secret lots of need for secret clearance folks in the consulting space and they make a good wage
yeah, I have that. not sure where I would go though. it's pretty common for big 4 like Accenture to hire around here
Where are you at? If youre in the DMV, lots of medium small businesses have large contracts. Check out clearancejobs.
