If you have a clearance send me your resume and I'll pass it to my manager. I get 42% finder's fee from your paycheck though. -

Its actually not bad when I leave. I live in Gainesville, and leave at about 5:50-6:00AM and I am here in Reston by 630-645. I am also out the door by 3:00PM, and home by 330-345PM. Not a bad commute.

My own personal opinion:
People in DC are rude because everyone has $. When you are making ***,*** you don't need anyone and cant to many people do anything for you. When you're surrounded by education, experience, money, and politics you act different. Yes, I will say I act different as well. Even the women are different. Its EASY to find a woman who makes more than you...Easy. Usually my Navigation is about 98% correct. It has me avoiding the interstate and taking roads to minimize traffic. It had me taking Lefts and Rights today I am thinking I am going to get lost and late for work, I come out of this community jump on the interstate and saved time on my route. -

DC people are starting to act like New Yorkers. You can easily get caught up spending $$$ at the clubs/bars/brunches etc...anyone adopted the minimalist approach? I started dumping a lot of my clothes and some unused furniture to the donation stores/bins lately.

I have a little experience with security, but not a position with security emphasis. I wouldn't be ready for a cert like that at this time, but two years from now probably.
If you did this for 4 years, you have the experience for a CISSP and i would head directly towards getting that. -

Ok, so far I've had three interviews at three different companies. Two are MSP government contractors willing to give a secret clearance and the other is a datacenter. For the datacenter, I didn't get it because I was more qualified than what they were looking for. Good news is my resume was pushed up the ladder for another position, currently pending. At one of the contractors, I'm currently waiting for a response sometime next week. For the other contractor, they are pulling me in for a second interview this week.:study:Reading: CCNP Route FLG, Routing TCP/IP Vol. 1

Congrats. With a secret clearance in DC you will be on good shape. Grab that CISSP and you will be in VERY good shape.
