Security Clearances at the Speed of Startups

Imagine you got a job offer from a company but weren\u2019t allowed to start work \u2013 or get paid \u2013 for almost a year. And if you can\u2019t pass a security clearance your offer is rescinded. Or you get offered an internship but can\u2019t work on the most interesting part of the project. Sounds like a nonstarter. Well that\u2019s the current process if you want to work for companies or government agencies that work on classified programs.
