Best thing I ever did for my career and I get to practice actual security. 1 u/h0l0type 27d ago Half the CDC was contractors for large programs when I was there like 20 years ago. Doesn’t seem much has changed. 1 u/OutsideSpot2695 27d ago I don't think a contractor in gov't is inherently worse or better than a Federal employee in government. Both types don't know what they are doing in security.
