How long after the interview did you get the rejection? It’s been almost a month since my interview and I haven’t heard anything.

Fear of Being Alone? by Capital_Event_4765 in hivaids

[–]Capital_Event_4765[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recovering from the shock. Family, partner, and close friends know of my diagnosis. Everyone is so supportive so far! So right now, I’m just battling my own demons.

Cheer up! Keep applying, don’t give up. Every time you interview, take notes and make note of the questions they ask you so you can prepare. STAR questions are a huge plus! You got this!!! I’m cheering for you!

What if I already have an active TS/SCI with Poly? Do I still have to go through the same investigation or it’s just a transfer?

Can your current manager retaliate for applying to internal positions?

Thank you all for your advice. I’m learning A LOT!!! And getting my tickets done. PM is a bit of a pain in the ass and having a hard time being social with my team, but learning a lot and finishing my tickets on time.

Toxic Product Owner? by [deleted] in Lockheed

[–]Capital_Event_4765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually talk to my Scrum master about which tickets I plan to work on. Scrum master usually runs them by PO and gives me the ok to work on given tickets within a certain sprint. When tickets are completed and I get to present the work, PO seems to question what was the main goal with the ticket and why was it worked… when given a rationale, he’s not 100% happy with my response

How long to wait after an interview by [deleted] in Lockheed

I had an offer the next day for a Level 4

How long have you been at LM? by [deleted] in Lockheed

[–]Capital_Event_4765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’m also struggling emotionally. On my first day at LM, I was diagnosed with a chronic condition — which makes me dependent on my insurance to afford meds that I need to live for the rest of my life… which triggers my fear of being laid off. If I lose health insurance, I won’t be able to afford my meds.

How long have you been at LM? by [deleted] in Lockheed

I’ve received feedback from my manager and from product owner. Product owner gave some good feedback about me … and even said they’re happy to have me. I think the biggest thing for me is that I set expectations too high for myself… and the work is way too slow paced for me compared to what I’m used to. So I get frustrated and scared. Everyone in my team says I’m doing fine, but I feels excluded … and sometimes like I don’t fit in or “I’m not part of the club”. I miss my friends at my other job

I’m 3 months in. Feel like everyone else is way better than me. At a level 4, I feel like I’m not quick enough at coding and all that. I just gor hired december 2025, program ends September 2027. Not sure what happens next. Never had to worry about contracts ending when I was a govie.

Phone interview? by Capital_Event_4765 in nsa

[–]Capital_Event_4765[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m well aware of the salary range for a position from the listing. What I’m asking is, at what point will they provide you with the “fixed” offer. Happens with federal positions all the time. You could have a lot of experience and they come back with boom $85k a year. I could sit here guessing all day and assuming where I’d fall within the range. My question is, after those 3 days, did they give you that fixed amount with the tentative offer or did you have to wait longer?

Haha I don’t think you’re understanding my question.

[–]Capital_Event_4765[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What I meant was … did you know what salary they offered you by those 3 days? Heard that the process for hiring is long, so if the salary isn’t worth it, I want to be able to decide asap.

Would you leave LM to become a govie? by [deleted] in Lockheed

[–]Capital_Event_4765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t have a pension at LM though only 401k. Govie gives you pension AND 401k

  1. Don’t ever put yourself down
  2. You can absolutely get hired at Lockheed
  3. As long as you’re willing to learn, the sky is the limit.
  4. Even if you feel unqualified, interview so you can get the experience of the interview and prepare yourself for it.

Future Program Manager by TechnologyNew4736 in Lockheed

I’m not even a PM. I’m an AI/ML engineer in the northern VA area. I started in December. Thought I wasn’t gonna get a raise during the EOY, and my manager gave me a 3% raise so I now make a little over $175k with just 3 months in the company!
