Microsoft JEDI Cancelled During Onboarding
Hey y'all,
Today it was announced that the DoD has cancelled the JEDI contract with Microsoft and instead is working on another contract to include Amazon in with them.
I am currently going through the pre-hire process with Microsoft and didn't know how this would affect my job. I've already accepted the offer and have a start date in a few weeks.
I called my recruiter and they informed me my job was safe, although I'm not sure how much I can trust them. I was brought on specifically for this contract but was told MS has a lot of other DoD contracts I can be moved to.
I've got a backup but that's not 100% sure either. I already gave my 2 weeks notice at my current position. Anyone got any idea how much I should be worried about this? Thanks!
Current:
Base: 73k
TC = 73k
MS:
Base: 122k
Clearance Bonus: 15%
Signing Bonus: 10k
Stock: 30k / 4 = 7500/year
TC = $157,800
YOE: 1
I feel like I got low balled on my TC, but wanted to MS brand on the resume.

I would say they will need you more than ever, now they have to compete with AWS.
