Salary range for the right person for the TPM role?

Casually interested in returning to Thailand (lived there for six years in the early 2010s) and am curious what a top-tier shop like yours pays these days.

Thanks!


Cool gig. Sadly bottom of the GS-13 band would be a ~%40 pay cut and I need to stay close to my aging folks in NC. :'(

Nice that you are helping people that don't have them get clearances too. Amazing opportunity for someone early in their career with an interest to break into government contracting work requiring a security clearance.

Anyway - good luck. Thanks for the important work you all are doing.


I'm in almost precisely the same position as you.

Will be 9 years in December. I've been promoted three times and have the highest official position that an IC can have at this company.

LCOL area, $150-175k / year depending on bonus, fully remote, devil I know, good FTO policy and work/life balance, etc. Even some equity (that seems to have a lower-and-lower expected value as the years pass, but that's another story). Lousy health care insurance but apart from that they take pretty good care of us.

I don't have advice to offer, just echoing your concerns and adding a question: have you seen a drop off in recruiting emails / requests on linkedin that started around year 6-7 and got worse from there?

Around year 5 I was getting a dozen or more emails and linkedin messages a week. Now I get maybe one every two months, usually Contract or C2H offers at that.

Unclear if this is just the state of the market, my excessive time at a single company, the keywords / skills in my linkedin becoming stale - all of the above? I've tried to keep my resume / linkedin current with promotions, descriptions of what I'm working on etc. - nothing seems to help.

Would be curious to know what the experience of others are with >=6 years at the same place.


Not exactly the same background. Stayed at a company for ~5 years. Then switched. I’m at ~15y experience now. But as you mention, I’ve also witnessed a big drop in outreach landing in my inbox. My guess is that it is more to blame on the market state rather than my résumé’s. Also curious about what other people’s experience has been in that regard lately.

(Side note: I talked to a recruiter a few month ago who was telling me they lost clients left and right. Clients were mostly telling them they don’t have any issues finding talent on their own anymore)
