Got offered a job that requires I get top security clearance. How can I profit off clearance?

Iim more curious about long term financial prospects. I hear stories about people with clearance making crazy money later in in their career. One dude told me he was making $250k as a network admin and would have been paid less than half that in a non-clearance job.

No, I mean like how do I use that status to earn the most amount of money?

Make a bet with the polygraph operator that you will fail.
Ensure you fail
Profit

I have found that private sector companies that don't do anything with security clearance are mega impressed with such credentials. Hell I never even got any kind of clearance, just worked on ITAR and EAR products, but cryptocurrency and security-adjacent recruiters have frequently gone "wooooow"

How is it possible that you slack jawed troglodytes consistently fall for the most retarded larps imaginable?

>> No.54506978

>>54506961
Why would this be a larp? It's not uncommon. Over 1 million Americans have top secret clearance.

>>54506904
It's a long buildup time unless you have specific skills. There's opportunity costs. In the private sector you make 20-30K more (CASH) and get promoted faster, but the clearance gives you very strong job security.

>> No.54507036

Yeah, this move would be lateral pay and I'd imagine It would take a few years before I can jump and start getting back into pay jumps.

Tell me you don't understand how clearances work without saying "I'm a massive faggot and don't understand how clearances work."

top secret clearance literally takes over 2 years to get. your job slot will be taken by then retard. you shouldve gotten your clearance first

>> No.54507079

>>54506854
You won’t get it. I interviewed for a job and had to get clearance to and was fine until the polygraph. They ask you stuff like “have you ever made racially charged comments online?” And “do you think that you hold extremist beliefs?” Etc. I’m like 90%sure they specifically try to filter people from here out.

Based off what HR told me, I accept job offer, submit for interim clearance, get cleared, start working and then wait for top sec to clear

Haha yeah, someone told me they got asked if they ever committed beastiality. Another person said they were grilled about their marital sex life.

are you sure its top secret? you realize there are different clearance levels right? secret clearance can usually be gotten in about 6 months or so. top secret requires FBI agents literally doing deep dive interviews with almost every person in your life since elementary school

>> No.54507221

Job posting said "ability to obtain DoD top security clearance". I also reached out to HT for clarification, since my understanding is that it's very rare to jump right into top sec without anything else.

>> No.54507231

>>54507079
Not every cleared job requires a poly, although the poly does add to your pay grade. I think polygraphs require SCI, at least most of the jobs I saw were TS/SCI + Poly.
>>54507082
You get the interim clearance after a few months, but that doesn't let you do all the things the clearance would. It still gives you enough to do your job.
>>54507141
GRANDPA! This isn't the 70s anymore. Thanks to Equifax and OPM the bare minimum for these clearances is 2 years. The DoD also wants to take over clearing people from OPM. If that swap over were to happen it'd take even longer.

top security is not a real category so i wonder if the recruiter just doesnt understand the terminology. theres top secret, secret, confidential, and maybe like one more i cant remember. very few people get top secret and anything top secret is very compartamentalized anyway so its not like you can just start looking up alien pics on the servers. most clearance levels are need to know basis unless you are faggots of the NSA who literally let their trannies and monkeys run wild

well my secret clearance was complete in about 5 months but i wasnt an idiot who left shit out of the paperwork and made the investigations branch have to go back and re-ask questions like 60% of the tards who apply

Yup, I looked at the official job posting vs what HR recruiter sent me, it's top secret. Sounds like a roastie fucked up, but either way, sounds like I might be in for an uphill battle.

They didn't even START my TS until half a year after my SF 86 + fingerprinting. It had been a year and a half after my submission that the agent finally came by to interview me, but I left a few months later. No one I listed as contacts ever heard from anyone either. This was in 2017 so I must have just gotten unlucky with the timing.

>> No.54507834

>>54507508
fuck, that sounds brutal. I hear it's not uncommon for people to just quit or find another job instead of waiting indefinitely for TS.
