[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP are you currently competitive or excepted service?  Have you given consideration to what switching means?  Not an area I’m deeply familiar with but seemed worth raising.

Do you currently supervise ?  Do you enjoy it ?

Do you like what you know about agency A or are you more intrigued by agency B?[/quote]

OP. I am currently in competitive service. A little worried about switching to excepted, but not too much (my husband is excepted service and has not had any problems).

I am currently a supervisor. There are bad bits, but overall I enjoy it. I know that non-supervisory would be easier though.

I generally prefer everything I know about agency A. It is more in line with my educational background and I feel more connected to the mission[/quote]

Sounds like the supervisory position has more going for it.  Like you, I don’t mind supervising - I even enjoy it.  The potential for growth to a GS 15 is definitely a plus.  Remote is definitely a plus.  Do you mind sharing what agency?  Curious what their current RTO stance is.  Sounds like you would be remote within the commuting area.  If they did say you had to go in, you could explore half days or make the jump somewhere else.[/quote]

OP. The first position is with NIH. I currently work at NIH and have for 10 years. NIH has been very flexible with remote work (yes, I am local remote). There are currently no rumblings of a return for anything more than once a pay period…except for Top 5 leaders. I’m just worried about future changes,nand this other opportunity fell in my lap that is closer to home.[/quote]
