[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently on GS 14, non-supervisory. Have a Ph.D. with 10 years experience. Perform well in the current position, and enjoy the work/life balance. Flexible hours. But seems no hope to move up the ladder, in the near future. Considering to move to CRO. Worked in big companies before on a temporary basis and didn't like it. Have intention to open own consulting business in the future. Another motivator is to make more money as DC will start private school. The plan is to work at CRO for 3-5 years and then leave to open own business. Is this plan feasible? Having not been in the job market for 10 years, I'm a little nervous. With young kids (the youngest is only 3), is it a good move? Is there anything I should be aware of before making the jump?[/quote] CRO = Contracting Research Org? Have you looked at science admin positions ? I’m a relatively new PhD (degree in 2015). I am in Non sup. GS 14 science admin position with the hope of moving to GS 15 at NIH or NSF in the next 5 years. [/quote]
