Had two technical interviews this week. Killed one and I think I killed the other. One is for the Top Secret clearance job in VA. The other is for a Dev job that will require a lot of travel.. so idk.
Trave Monday to Thursday. Work remote from home on Friday. Not sure how I feel about that.

Herndon, VA. I really liked how the interview went, the job includes a lot of cool stuff for scalability engineering on an Ecommerce platform.

Usually there is some large health system in your area (in mine we have Cape Fear and First Health), and you can check on their website for openings in all of their clinics and hospitals.

So, anyone know where I should start looking for a tech side job? Looking to maximize my income for the next couple years to start putting money away for early retirement.

I have been out of service for 4 years or so and I generally kept pretty intelligent company while in. Most of my friends are moving from Sr. Tech positions to managerial slots and have been hounding me to contract out. Offering clearance again and all that.
I have been in civilian IT and its a 9-5, minimal effort, contractor gig would honestly be easier and the allure of not paying taxes on 80% of your income is tempting me.
Marriage is stable, wife and I have been away before. I feel I am stupid for not taking the plunge.

Overseas contracting isn't paying what it once was. They also cap the amount of income you can get tax free now. I mean it's still a good way to make extra money it's just not amazing like it was in the early 2000s. You also have to be overseas for a full year as a contractor to get tax free.
The other trap you have to be careful of is upping your lifestyle to overseas income. I see guys do it all the time and then they can almost never spend anytime conus without going broke.
If you can do it for a year and then get back into a 9-5 though it can be a nice way to pay off debt or put some money away.

There's pretty much always a shortage of providers in rural areas. My first FT job as a nurse was in a small town of 40k people surrounded by farmland 100 miles in every direction. This tool will show you geographical areas with primary care shortages:
data.HRSA.gov - HPSA Find
Try "nurse practitioner new grad" or "np new grad" in Indeed, narrow to the locale of your choice. I found my rural job through Indeed.

From nothing more than a few articles I've read and what has happened to the local hospital and one where my house is they both sold (to different companies) to larger ones that apparently from googling cater in a multitude of rural areas to providing stuff billable by medicaid. Apparently it's booming business, the one I googled had new hospitals they had squired in several states with the average population of 10,000 give or take in the area.

That was somewhat of the plan, wife has steady income stateside and this position is one off those kush live in a nice house, have a vehicle, monitor some expensive systems, and be available. About double my income with healthcare included.
Pretty aware of the 330 day rule. I think I could meet that Jan timeline though.
No idea how security clearances work anymore with FBI out of the picture -- i imagine not much difference.

It's still the same. If you had one before there's a solid chance they can just reinstate it and get you going on a PRI right away. If it expired (they generally don't expire them at all now, so if it was active within the last 5-6 years you are probably good) then you have to hopefully get an interim and wait on the full investigation.

There's a taskrabbit kind of thing for developers. Would be a good place to start maybe? Or peruse craigslist. I got a really sweet side job for a few years just checking out craigslist.
