One trend to look for in 2024 is rolling or tiered layoffs, Wahlquist adds. Instead of reducing head count all at once, companies will likely conduct smaller rounds of layoffs over time, perhaps targeting different departments at different times -- this allows for more flexibility and for easier workload transitions for current employees. "No business wants to guess wrong and cut too many jobs too soon, which could put them at a competitive disadvantage, lower employee morale, and negatively impact the company's brand and reputation as a great workplace," Wahlquist says.

Clearance Jobs posts a lot of these jobs, yes.
Firms like AWS, Microsoft, Boeing, Booz Allen also post these jobs on their public jobs web pages as well (sometimes they are buried under the jobs page, look for things like Microsoft jobs for Vets/Cleared....)
screw these greedy azz companies
Told nikkaz to think about this shyt when companies were crying and begging for warm bodies. All theatrics.
The irony though is they complain about people not working hard enough, who would work hard when companies cut with impunity. We cut some people the other day and I don't even understand why. All those yearly reviews mean nothing. Just dangling the carrot
Bout time for me to update my resume. Especially since this year contract only about 4-5 months from ending, if they don't end it sooner cuz you never know what's finna happen wit project grants and shyt.
Don't be scared to pay a mf to redo yo shyt either brehs. You ain't gotta go as far as me (paid $500 to redo my resume and LinkedIn but also got to interview prep wit him via video etc).

DMV brehs FEAST on 6/6/6 with an active sec clearance. Brehs don't even get out of bed for less than 120k if they got certs or language skills on top of that. Hybrid remote (though most will be on site due to opsec), full bennies...it's a no-brainer for a vet to get a DMV gig. That's what I did.
5 years, couple of gigs. One was a gov think thank, and they sponsored my TS + SCI. I had an expired S from the Navy, so they said fukk it let's put you up for the whole shyt cuz we value your skills. Investigated for a year, they're real thorough and will ask you tons of questions (don't lie). Then you get your clearance, pay your dues back to the gov (I did 3 years) then cash in with an active clearance. Sky's the limit.
I got a DOJ contractor gig and it was 100k just to walk in the door. Right before the pandemic they were on a hiring frenzy. Lockdown came and they switched us all to hybrid, 1 week home 1 week office. At home I didn't do shyt cuz all our work was classified and couldn't be taken out of the site.
Get your clearance. No faster path to 6/6/6 gang.

Mind if I hit your PM about this breh? Ready to hit these interviews hard again, and may need to consult on improving my resume.
It's all about boosting the stock price but it always backfires on these companies.Told nikkaz to think about this shyt when companies were crying and begging for warm bodies. All theatrics.

Working on a clearance with one of those.Its the complete opposite here in the cleared world. These defense contractors are hiring like crazy. They can't outsource these jobs so no FOB Panjeets/Changs to worry about and there ain't enough cleared folks to replace these boomers. If you are in networking/cyber, an American citizen, and you have a clean record...come get this contractor money brehs
Booz Allen/Leidos/Lockheed/GDIT/AWS Cleared/Rtx/etc. All have thousands of postings.
The bolded is the best attribute. At this point, I just want to stick somewhere and not have a big worry about cuts (will be better prepared even if it does). Government ain't cutting funds to these contractors. They're going through a hiring boom in my part where I'm working.
Fully remote and had NO Leetcode, NO "tell me about ___________ and how you _________________" during the interview. Just talked shop, easy sailing.

I still would only work for the Feds as a last resort. You can't trust these Federal contract companies. And if Republicans get back in power they could shutdown the government or cut spending to the bone. Years ago when Obama was in office thousands of contractors got laid off due to Republicans cutting the budget.
