[quote=Anonymous]I think a number of the people responding don’t have any experience in hiring in the federal government. They might not be able to replace you because the posting for your position has closed (because they hired you and you started). It will depend on whether they can backfill, which depends on budget stuff at your agency. All of which is to say, it could really screw them over, so be careful if you’re going to need to interact with them going forward. Do not ask for a raise. They can’t do that anyway.

If you accept the new job, how long will it be before they would be able to bring you on board? Do you need a background check or clearance? I ask because it could take a while, right? I’m not sure how that factors in here but it seems like something to think through.

Ultimately you have to do what’s right for you. You shouldn’t turn down your dream job for a just ok job. But you also shouldn’t quit your current job for one that’s just a little bit better if you’re ever going to need to interact with these folks again because you might be making life really hard for them.[/quote]
