Information Assurance WDC area what do you all think?

Got an offer to become a Jr. IA consultant in the WDC Area. The client will perform a TS security clearance on me, currently I work IT (IT Administrator)in the Legal field. The pay is the same for both places, benefits and perks better in the law firm. But that TS security is what luring me to this position. I mainly do System Admin, deskside,tech, application, a/v support. How is the IA field like?
Im 26 5years of IT work place experience. BS, Masters degree and Comptia Trifecta, project+ on the way.

I'd take a hard look at those benefits also. With even pay I'd be inclined to take the one with better benefits, especially if you are a family man.
Gotta agree with this. That clearance will run your life. Literally. Absolutely no credit issues, law issues or anything. Even the slightest thing will come up during your initial and then your reinvestigation. Depending on the TS you may need a polygraph as well, those are hell. Sure tie clearance is nice, but it will limit a lot of what you can do.
you'd be surprised how much cleared personnel are or have been in foreclosure the past few years. You think they lost their clearances during the periodic reinvestigation? As long as you're honest filling out your eQIP, there's always a waiver.
to the OP, good luck!
That would be the end of the conversation for me.
Just saw this and thought I would share..
