Do aerospace and defense clients drug test?

    Previously worked for a smaller dod contractor, they never did, but could. Larger ones like Raytheon, Lockheed, etc, can drug test their own, but would be surprised if they could force drug tests on consultants. The bigger issue is the clearance. If you have a clearance or are getting one, they have inquired or will inquire into your past drug use. A couple points: 1. Weed won’t mess you up if it’s recreational 2. Don’t lie. If they found out you lied about something on an SF-86, pretty sure it’s a felony, at the least it will preclude you from a clearance. Finally, once you HAVE the clearance, the expectation is you’re an upstanding citizen and would never smoke the devils lettuce :)

    Most do. If DoD contractor, you oftentimes need a clearance as well.

I like my job alot. I work with smart people. I have a ton of flexibility. All in (salary, bonus, equity) I make $300k mcol. It's kind of a dead end, I'm not gonna make partner and it's PE backed so I could lose my job at any time. At some point I'll probably be laid off because that just seems to be the new reality. I struggle with looking for a new role because I like my role. But also I feel lazy just chilling. Sanity check if I should try to jump and get back on the escalator or enjoy it?

Left McK as an EM for a role that offered $325k, I’m only 3 months out and competitor of company I joined wants to poach me and give 450k. I personally been enjoying my new org and it’s been such little time, however the jump in comp is substantial. How would you handle this?
