HUGE iirc here; he claims he was offered the fed job. He brought it to his boss and checked if he can get a better offer from amazon. The boss couldnt and the boss, yes, the boss encouraged him to take the job.
Later he said that the fed job downsized 1 person and he has to take like 50 (or was it 30?) flights per year or something cause the work got spread to other team members and so he quit on his own. Or so he says.
I guess this is a big cope. He said that he went to Amazon Games, because they offered him a job with decent pay (unlike Blizzard).
I'm pretty sure fed jobs don't pay as good, at least in IT, so let's check it:
Glassdor says that QA at Amazon earns $101k–$154k/year with $124k median.
Indeed says that the median is $133k/year.
This might be a long shot but:
Glassdor says that Cybersecurity Expert earns $92k-$140k/year at a fed job.
DHS Cybersecurity Service lists earning levels as:
-
Entry Track: $67,200 – $87,000
-
Developmental Track: $82,000 – $107,000
-
Technical Track: $105,600 – $212,500
-
Leadership Track: $122,400 – $201,500
-
Executive Track: $174,300 – $237,500
So he could technically make a bag on a Technical Track level, but when you check the
requirements:
It's pretty obvious that he doesn't have 5+ YoE for a Senior Cybersecurity Specialist position which doesn't pay that much better than Amazon, and even if he includes some faggot DEFCON / Blizzard janny experience as a cybersecurity, then he still definitely doesn't have 8+ YoE for Staff Cybersecurity Specialist position with a decent pay, and if he were a STAFF level fed specialist, he would boast about it, no doubt.
Ergo (what I believe until proven otherwise): he was fired from Amazon, and got an entry level fed job with shitty pay, and got fired again when the team downsized.
