Can you get cleared yourself or so you have to have sponsor agency?

No you cannot get cleared yourself. And the 180 cleared is only for an SME

No it's common starting point for cleared senior developers

So $180 is starting salary for cleared developers? How is work life, prokotuon, stability?

Well yeah quants and banks makes sense. Compare your salary to the former jocks who run the bank; you are way smarter but they have the connections.

Without clearance and not as an independent contractor, but with experience and all the certifications: about $110k

What skills does he specialize in?

My DH makes 210k as a software developer with clearance, 12 years experience.

Top Secret here, I used to bounce between 170k to 210k depends on the contract. 17 years in Java and .Net

Makes more than that now because I specialize in a very specific area.

if you can fix a nasty performance issue on a highly multithreaded application someone else wrote without wasting 30 days pretending you're a software engineer on Google by instead reviewing source code and eliminating bottlenecks, your clearance is just icing on the cake.

As far as hours, we don't work at McDonalds at this level. You're going to work a lot. You do it because you kick ass and love your job. As such, folks suggesting 60k are out of their minds for a Sr. Software Engineer.

What type of work, hours per week, etc compared to dod contractors?
