About the role

This is a Senior Level role in the Technology field (Cybersecurity) at Fannie Mae. Senior roles usually expect substantial experience, ownership of results and often the ability to guide others.

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Reston, VA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Reston compares. Among the 100 largest places in Virginia, Reston is #15 by population, #14 for remote work (#1 = most), #16 for college degrees (#1 = most), #25 for household income (#1 = highest). Its county, Fairfax County, is #3 of 133 counties for average pay ($114,100).

The place in numbers

Reston has 64,414 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.7% of the population of Virginia. It covers 15 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 4,198 people per square mile. The median age is 40.1, about the same as the state median (40.1 against 39.0). It is a census-designated place: a community the Census Bureau counts as a unit, without a city government of its own, so services such as police, roads and zoning usually come from the county.

Housing

The median gross rent is $2,231 a month (rent plus utilities), 41% above the state median ($2,231 against $1,579). Over a year that is 18.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $642,000, which is 4.3 times the median household income ($148,710). 60.6% of households own their home, 10% below the state average (60.6% against 67.3%).

Work and pay

The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area has 3,136,190 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $71,060 a year, 39% above the national median ($71,060 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are business and financial operations (369,190 jobs, median $105,260); management (319,760 jobs, median $165,010); office and administrative support (290,050 jobs, median $53,250). The area is most specialised in legal (2.6 times) and computer and mathematical (2.2 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are legal ($175,070) and management ($165,010). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Fairfax County was 3.4%. 73.7% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Fairfax County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 52.1% drive alone, 5.6% use public transit, 1.5% walk, 33.5% work from home. 15.8% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 10% below the state average (15.8% against 17.6%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

72.0% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 71% above the state share (72.0% against 42.2%). 24.6% of residents were born outside the United States, 87% above the state share (24.6% against 13.1%). The poverty rate is 5.7%, 42% below the state rate (5.7% against 9.9%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 78°F (25.6°C), and the coolest is Jan at 31°F (-0.4°C). About 1,117 mm (44 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (120 mm) and Jan the driest (65 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare
