And I bet that Amazon pays a lot better for SC (DV) cleared workers than the DOD does.
Likely, but Amazon isn't known for its high salaries, is it? Also govt jobs typically have good benefits so a 1:1 salary comparison may not make sense.
What's high? They are competitive with other FAANG. Source: I worked at both Amazon and Facebook. Amazon also offers a bonus for having a clearance.
What’s the bonus?
IIRC $15,000 / year
