My company is paying an opportunity cost for me in DC, 245K...but it seems like there’s no opportunity to advance. I feel like I’m stagnating. Should I try to find a job on the west coast or ride this out until I get my top secret security clearance on the east coast?
Ure crying cuz u have 245k tc?
I just want to advance my career, that’s all.
I know right , he wants his cake and eat it too. Not everybody gets that luxury, I know on Blind it may seem like everybody gets what they want but it’s definitely not the case.
Top security clearance is a big deal to have it on west coast. Not sure about east. Based on what I have looked into so far (been looking into infosec 👀), it would be better to get the clearance.
Who is paying 245k in DC, YOE?

That's great comp for the area. I'm guessing you're in like hardcore contracting as opposed to a prime type place. That's definitely a drawback to contract work, not feeling like you have career progression. Honestly, you have to get into a sector that doesn't purely make.money of the government
