I applied to the RSA position within Financial Services and Public Sector (currently holding a secret clearance) and not sure which department the screening is for.

As it’s just a screening is there anything I need to do to prep? I’m currently a senior consultant with the Big4 in the public sector and I’ve used Databricks in the past and enjoyed the tool and would love to get immersed in the tool. Databricks is on my list of dreams companies to work for. If I get past the screening I’ll use the community edition over the weekend to get refreshed with the platform.

The two areas were utilization and firm contributions. I was on STD from September to November of last year. I ended up having to switch therapists during that time due to matters out of my hands and started with a new one in late October.

During that period I decided that I wouldn’t request a longer period of leave and would return to work in November after my leave ran out. It took awhile for me to get a note from the new therapist to sign off on me returning to work, but I got it mid December which was frustrating.

So my utilization took a hit during that period and I didn’t have any firm contributions and thus my the reason for my low marks in those categories.

I have been staffed on a longterm project since the end of February that I really like and have been billing 41-44 hours a week . I am still trying to find a firm contribution and am waiting to hear back from several leads on that. This is the first time it’s been so tough to find something.

Receiving that email on a Friday after providing a massive deliverable to the client today really killed my mood. If that email is indeed PIP, should I look for a new job? While my project is going really well, the economy sucks and if I know that I’ll be eventually let go I want to have something lined up.
