The Federal Reserve is one of the most toxic places I’ve worked in. Mean people, fragile egos, and completely ineffective.

Ttt toilet agencies are full of people that would love to work at state.

State is full of people that compare it to their t20 friends that went to Google or McKinsey.

I work with folks from State Department. They have to be the most arrogant federal employees next to all the law enforcement officers (agencies - FBI-CBP-ICE-BP etc).

OMG THIS. I have a close friend whose husband is at state and he LITERALLY think he is the most important person ever.

YES! I went to school with State Department kids and their parents would be bragging about it to their kids' friends. Bro, I'm 12, IDGAF. Living in DC now, I noticed that nearly every single SD person will list off all their postings after giving their name.

In what way? From the outside seems like pay is significantly better and there is relative autonomy for employees. Plus few political appointees.

Few political appointees but they drive the agenda and staff gets get yanked in every which direction. And the current chair is an arrogant former Goldman guy who got regulatory religion (after he made tons of money at GS) and thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room. People are miserable.

This strikes me as standard across federal agencies. And it’s increasingly bad as politics becomes so extreme in each direction. There is no continuity between administrations like you might get if politics was more moderate.

Full of refugees from academia,, big law or public accounting firms. Failed type As with chip on their shoulder.
