Naw. bonuses and refreshers actually already increased due to inflation over the past few years. Mine doubled last year. Experienced talent is still in demand and can get work anywhere. And experience is even more valuable when these companies get leaner and try to do more with less employees. They gotta pay to keep you. I still got recruiters hitting me every week.
Good point but I’m in consulting and I get clients from both coasts. Really the main issue is my current job is very volatile and basically impossible to predict unless I’m on a long term contract.
Sounds like it’s time to find a new main and then take another job that you can bs until they fire you. That’s what the overemployed crowd has been doing.
I've done DOD contracting before and it's not as secure as people think. Especially if Republicans control Congress but not the Oval office.
I mean, per the subject of this thread, you can dropped by any company for any reason. You have to pick the right one. My first company made a commitment to not layoff anybody during all the commotion with covid. I’m going on my third year with them and I don’t really do shyt and my job isnt in jeopardy or anything like that. No space is 100% secure but my phone/email has been jumping for like 3-4 years straight. They basically chased me down for this role.
You definitely have to “show your face” to the government but I would argue the workloads are lower than anywhere else in the field. You’re not judged by productivity and stuff like that. As long as you are fulfilling the contract you’re good. The amount of free time I have is like nothing else I’ve ever seen.
