a few firms that have contacted me... out of the blue in the past 4 days.

One is: Novetta Systems in Washington, D.C.
They supposedly have 7 (or more) unpublished positions open in:

Reston, VA
Fort Meade, MD
Washington, D.C. proper.

These are on stipulation they can re-activate my Secret Clearance and pass a Poly-Graph and/or improve my Secret to TS/SCI

Would it be worth it to investigate them and pursue them? Company seems pretty well sized. I have concerns about living on the East Coast and general viability of doing that. CoL seems to be considerably higher than I'd like... since I might just be unencumbered shortly... who knows.


Second Company is: Zeta Interactive in Denver.
They don't show any open positions in my areas of expertise, but assured me they have a couple that interest me.

I don't know exactly how big they are. I not have any real issues with Denver area.


Third company: GQR Global Market (apparently working for them and not a recruitment)

Specifically in Los Angeles. With Trips to Chicago in support of West Coast HFT systems.

Company seems very large, very diversified and many markets served.

I know about the West Coast CoL... it sucks just like the East Coast. Again, unencumbered soon.



My last question:

How and why do these come up at the same time? It isn't like I'm actively looking.
