> Shit, I can't even find a SINGLE qualified mid-level software engineer with a clearance for a job that's already started and fully funded.

Two questions (on a tangent):

1. Define "qualified"

My experience, before I gave up on the DOD sector, is that companies that post Landry list reqs actually mean it. They are even worse than the larger industry at only interviewing candidates who look stellar on paper.

2. How much are you paying?

The few times I did get past the resume filter the salary was slightly below market, and none of these companies have anything resembling non-salary compensation.
