For anyone w/ secret clearance and a desire to move to VA: https://www.gd.com/careers/web-developer-fort-belvoir-va-us-rq195064-gdit-opportunity

The only bright side to all the fed layoffs: contractor job openings will go up.

it's just hard on those of us w/o existing secret clearances

Not an entirely stable environment methinks...

also - if the position is open due to a DOGE firing, then the most likely contractor to be hired will be the employee they just fired.

That sounds way more reasonable than evidence would indicate is typical. Shutting up now.
