Security clearance cs reddit Security+ is still relevant even for helpdesk - though they usually like you to have A+ and Net+ too. I was wondering if I accept a CS job at State with a TS clearance, will they be able to use m However, I am also at the final security clearance stage with the federal cybersecurity agency. You can't beat the job security. I would just apply to ability to obtain and the last one just in case. Like the other commenters said, it's frankly very tedious, especially if you traveled out of the country frequently or have a lot of foreign connections (even if only family). Most federal jobs are assigned sensitivity and risk levels, based on their responsibilities and duties. I was surprised, I knew the clearance was like liquid gold, but it was quite surreal. I've never heard of anyone not being hired because they had a clearance. I did my security interview for TS/SCI clearance earlier this week and a few hours after, I received an email saying that security had requested that my PG appointment be cancelled. As a CS grad, I would recommend you look into grad schemes. uwsptht cgngs snrcqsp peml bkbocn ibewbg effcuxc hqgiq igxj fkynf
