    Dope interview and this one really spoke to me. I recent moved to Maryland for a federal law enforcement job. That came with a TS SCI which is a high level clearance. I’m currently studying for my security + and plan to transition into the Gov tech space. I work nights some I’m actually about to study in a few. I also work for a 3 letter agency as well. Just looking to get out of law enforcement and make more money while having more time with family. Good interview 🫡💯
