[@cyberdojo798]

As a government contractor, she is right on point and I been doing it for almost 20 years

[@lonzothekidd7019]

I work for accenture and shes not wrong

[@oscarwaiharo]

Please break it down more...

[@Theinsomniac826]

Hey coworker. I am in TDP. Are you on the Federal side? I am new and projects I have been on haven't been technical but I am hanging in there for now.

[@lonzothekidd7019]

@@Theinsomniac826 Yea im AFS too and been mainly on non technical

[@SagRising19]

Thank you for doing this breakdown. I'm in GRC Risk and getting my 17 year old into tech early with an A+ cert

[@joshuaattractsmoney]

Ok. That's what's up. How GRC going for you? You work 100 percent remote?

[@gabrielfono844]

As self taught software engineer with bachelor degree in civil engineering and over two years of experience as contractor for Booz Allen and support the department of Veterans, everything she says is absolutely perfect. I am currently planning to jump into cyber security and my target company is the NSA. Let’s come on this comment between six to a year from now and give a big shoutout to Symone for all her hard work. Thanks a lot

[@dertyherryfilms6385]

Found your channel recently, lots of great content to catch up on.... youve been grindin!

[@kysiishow]

As long as we keep having these breaches we will stay in business - Companies keep working reactively not proactively

[@symonebeez]

Facts!

[@jayydakidd4592]

Trynna get my hands on govtech searching up certs to take just quit my job to be fully committed

[@LeeK301]

When you talk about most ppl saying « govt work is boring » i agree that there are a lot of different contracts that have really cool tech stacks; really just depends on what contract your placed on.. my first job as a dev was super boring but now I’m on a contract that is very interesting 👍🏿

[@calebderavil7464]

GovTech is not COMPLETELY layoff proof. Depends on what branch and the contractor. I worked at BAE Systems and they did layoffs back in 2020. Then after I had left they did another round in 2023

[@ericnwachukwu]

True, but I think what she’s saying is that even if you do get laid off, there are so many other contract companies you can easily get another contract within 2-4 weeks. That’s if you put the work in, of course.

[@anthonyprimm1107]

I had a buddy at BAE….. he said they were always hanging up issues. Layoffs aren’t normal in that field. Unless you suck.

[@truthhurts7045]

I am trying to get my kids to get into tech but they do not want to. I have started my classes already and I am excited to secure my future

[@c9j92]

What classes are you taking?

[@whynotnae]

let them choose there own path, that way they don’t resent you in the future

[@curtisdavis8594]

Depends on your mobility. . Washington DC fantastic for Job hopping in government.... Otherwise, you'll need to Clearance of some time to move from Govt role across states......but "Overall"... she's Right .. unlimited potential if you like $150,000& $200,000 money..... If you're a homer, or local person with family...you might be limited

[@jamevolve8380]

What about the advantages of having a bachelor’s or masters degree in cybersecurity? I’m about to have my bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, with CySA+, Sec+, and Google Cybersecurity Certification with no experience and decent skill. Wondering where I should start and what to expect salary wise with those credentials.

[@jeromed3904]

Is it possible to get the security clearance when you don't have it ? I know its costly and companies don't want to foot the bill.

[@SanjaySeth99]

Hi Simone love this channel! Question I'm a Canadian fed gov contractor in cyber security incorporated...is there away for me to access this market as a Canadian citizen? Thanks!

[@AP_123_]

Thanks so much. Can GovTech be performed remotely? Ideally, I'd like to have a remote job. Thanks a million.

[@Covergirl005]

Do they have per diem or part time jobs?

[@TJB1060]

The way u promote Gov tech it needs to be the name of ur channel😂But love the content🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@symonebeez]

🤣 maybe I'll add it

[@videoventure984]

my mentor, I really appreciate your content 🙏

[@symonebeez]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@sean02345]

Are most of the clearance requirements secret or top secret? Just curious cause I already have a secret from the military

[@Tu51ndBl4d3]

I am about to finish my google cyber security cert then take the sec+, can i start applying now? I am also going to start working on more projects

[@wisdommaliki1663]

How can I be a contractor my self.. I’m just a us resident. Most jobs requires you to be a citizen first. Any advise?

[@backhandcity5042]

Great information! I’m a complete beginner though, where do I start to get into govn tech?

[@X4Y7Z0]

When you say security clearance, what tier specifically? Currently I’m Tier 3 but hesitant to go Tier 5 or top level.

[@javaunking2166]

Have you ever been on a contract and it just ended? Thats my only worry but doing my best to make sure even if that did happen that I could get another role quickly.

[@Sassysaash]

Hey Beez! Thank you for this! Is there any other Certifications one would need to get to work In GovTech?

[@454lin]

Security +

[@julioreyes6024]

Lots of reputable defense contracting IT jobs will require you to have Security +.

[@se2664]

I work for my states government in an administrative analyst role. I didn’t need security clearance. Am I considered public sector or gov tech?

[@symonebeez]

GovTech is federal, state, and local

[@chukwudinnodim8947]

What about scrum masters I recently finished a program

[@javaunking2166]

Great roles.

[@Krod1995]

how are you able to get into govt tech jobs at 16 years old in the US?

[@edulopez32]

Military. Get a job in the reserves/guard that requires a TSSCI

[@kiravd5392]

If you have skills, where to start looking for gov tech jobs?

[@symonebeez]

ClearanceJobs, USAJobs.gov, and Government Contractor websites.

[@Geryf]

Hey Symoné! I love your videos! I also work in the cleared world as an engineer and I have a few questions. 1. How often do you recommend we hop between jobs? With a TS/SCI it’s so easy and there’s always a salary bump, but also I don’t want a resume with 10+ job changes throughout my career. 2. Have you found a job at a defense company that is not just charging hours? Every job I’ve ever worked is more or less In-person staffing at an on-site. Do you know of any gov contracting companies where it’s no staffing and there’s an actual product being developed? I live in the DMV and it seems almost every job is just staffing to a gov agency, what are your thoughts? Thanks! I appreciate your videos and advice

[@dianaalyssa8726]

TY

[@victoryb.5437]

What about mobile development? Does that have a place in gov tech?

[@tam6011]

Yes

[@siethomas4046]

I have a degree in healthcare.. how can I get training without going back to college to land a high paying position like gov tech?

[@jalen-one]

Im 18 years old how do i get started

[@hiphopmrs]

Are there any Sales Engineer role in the GovTech Space?

[@SM-lf7pp]

What's the usual turnaround on a security clearance? And what level is usually needed for cybersecurity?

[@tam6011]

Depends on the person and level. It can be 6 months to 1 year or so.

[@williamkennedy7313]

Probably just need a secret, but if you’re in the DMV you’re gonna want a TS/SCI. If you have a TS/SCI with a full scope polygraph, then you’d never have to worry about money or a job for the rest of your life

[@khaliqibrahim8064]

is there govtech in canada?

[@carolilunga]

yes there is! but the salary is not comparable to the us

[@thesirstrong]
