My Thoughts On Defense Contracting

[@Matt-wv3if]

This is literally spot on

[@miltonhuynh4209]

This is pretty informative and well-paced, I wanted to watch a little for some info but stayed for the whole 22min

[@Atom1794]

Even in R&D at one of the companies you mentioned I feel the same 💀

Thanks for the post, very informative. I'm in the relocation space - I work with companies that send their employees on projects around the world. Curious to know you mentioned BAE Systems for example, would the defense contractor teams share the same HR team resources our would they be completely separate? Most of my HR contacts like at GE, Boeing, Lockheed Martin seem to have no idea about this and only handle the population of employees that are not under the defense contracts business. I'm trying to build my network in this space and obtain new customers as we already do Military, GSA and Commercial for these kinds of companies thanks in advance for any insight.

Isn't it recommended that you don't publicly announce that you have a clearance?

[@br3xin997]

Yes, you pretty much are putting a target on your back in a sense

[@ShadowF305]

100% , i guess he missed the opsec briefing lol but Secret clearances are not a big deal . Its when you go TS SCI is where it gets serious

[@theoddengineer42]

I realized I never did respond to this comment... yes generally you don't want to announce your clearance. However, they hand out Secret clearances like candy in most of defense contracting. And to be honest, I never really even learned anything "secret", it mainly just let me be near things so that I could do my job. Trust me, if someone kidnapped me for info they would probably know more than I do at this point lol

@@theoddengineer42 "They hand out Secret clearances like candy....". Yeah they kind of do. LOL

We are not the only country in this world that is fear mongering though. I get what you are saying but better safe than sorry. World peace would be nice but lets be real here.

[@YessahBlessah608]

These are the real moneymakers lol

[@bimbom9826]

I approve of the political viewpoints lol

[@williamng7530]

real tech companies pay double what defense contractors pay

[@doJLife]

Do you think it's good to have on my resume? Let's say I do an Internship

[@terrible2d]

Yeah but in defense contracting you do nothing lmao, in tech you have to work. also tech companies are also usually located in way higher CoL areas
