L9 New hire on the bench
Hey all, I’m starting at AFS in 3 weeks, new hire as L9, I’m supposedly not in a project starting on a bench (I’m coming from a DOW/DHS or VA) project experience so they paying me 160K with my security clearance.
I’m in a field of Data engineering/science and generative AI/RAGs etc for the government for a long time.
I’m going to start at the Arlington location, I wanted to ask how are things at AFS right now? In the. genAI ROLES ? Do we have good projects and work I’ve read people saying they get benched for weeks to months and u can get fired for it ?
If they are hiring me at a high rate, will I get put on a project faster and easily or I’ll be stressing struggling ?
From my experience with the work, genAI things might be fast and good but need insights
