I've had a pretty good relationship with the CDC here in Atlanta. With one group, I stayed for six years, did very well by them, and supported two major web applications.
Things change, though, and when my division decided on a technology that I had no interest in -- Dynamics -- I moved on to another promising group.
That group was.... um... well, how can I say it. It was underwhelming in terms of procedure and culture. Developers are treated as commodities, and our knowledge and opinions are not barely noticed, much less respected.
Further, the technology I was hired for was not what they really needed. They like doing everything in out-of-the-box Sharepoint, and I am a C#.NET/VB.NET guru.
So, I'm up on June 27. Let me know if you hear of anything for a stellar MVC 5 (Razor) / Entity Framework / C#/VB.NET JQuery / SQL computer developer guy who is well spoken, writes well, has great 'soft skills' with people, skilled with web security (taught by the feds!) and can bench press 3 pounds.
I'm staying in Atlanta though. Thought I'd put this on Free Republic because they say to network, and this is the best place in the world to do that. :)

You realize you've lost 99% of us?
Good luck anyway.
"Soft skills"
Good luck, you'll be fine.
I am so screwed.
I am so screwed.
I can only bench press three pounds.
Microsoft and Apple require only a 3 pound bench press, lose weight.
I am so screwed.
I can’t lose weight, I can only lose mass. Weight is a function of the gravity well I am in.
Aw, come on out here to NW Arkansas. It’s a heavenly area and the economy is booming. And all the peppers say the Ozarks are the place to be, so you’d be slightly less so screwed.
We left crowded, smoggy, perverted, islamicized, lib-infested, angst-filled, crime-ridden Atlanta 6 years ago and couldn’t be happier.
Laz,
You mentioned Web application security.
Would you be at all interested in pursuing related consulting, testing, remediation and project management opportunities?
There are Tons of career postings I’ve seen around application security.
Are you a member of owasp?
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Top_Ten_Project
SANS, ISSA, ISC2?
Drop me a FRmail if you’d like to discuss more.
Best of luck
Yeah? Maybe. How’s your gun laws?
Speak for yourself. I wish I knew of something down there, but haven’t any ideas. LinkedIn has always been good for me.
Not so. F = ma. Your weight is proportional to your mass (and the local depth of your gravity well. Lose mass and yes, my friend, you will indeed lose weight. (or just find a shallower well, but put preferably with an oxygen atmosphere, job opportunities, and knowing you, girls!)
I’m not a member but I’ve used owasp’s stuff before. Maybe I should specialize. I got a lot of interest from a few banks... the best infosec people in the world are at the banks, and the second best are feds. So it makes sense the banks would consider fed contractors to be a rich talent pool.
GIAC Silver or Gold?
Buddy, you haven’t lost any of us but there is a position open at Spectrum, formerly Time Warmer Cable, cuz I just fired another of their overseas ‘facilitators’. Do you speak American English he asks with a wry smile?
