[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of jobs outside of DC!! [/quote]

There is always a bull market somewhere, and right now in DC, [b]Defense-Tech[/b] is super hot.  Just in the last week I have seen five start-ups in the DC area raise $250MM+ (total) in this sector.  You need AI/ML/Computer Vision skills, as well as engineering/robotics skills.

It requires security clearances.  I am in the DoD AI/ML/VHDL and we have ten openings for skills like this; however, it also requires TS clearance.[/quote]

Are you saying they won't hire you if you don't have clearance?  I assume most US-born engineers would not have any problem getting clearance.[/quote]

It takes maybe 12 months between the person filing the SF-86 and adjudication, for simple cases. In between for TS there is field investigation work and other processes.

If a company has unclassified work, the person can work on that while waiting. If the company only has TS work, they often cannot afford to pay the person to twiddle their thumbs while waiting. [/quote]
