[quote=Anonymous]I was in a role like this. It was great and great for my career. But a number of factors came together.

I really threw myself into it. I didn't have kids yet (I wouldn't work those hours now).

I was willing to take on all the small things. Being a special asst is more personal than being a career fed who's a specialist IC. You are doing whatever is needed.

The Asst Sec level person and his fellow politicals were great people. They included me on big stuff. I got good projects and they gave me credit. They were interested in my career and stayed in touch even after leaving the Adm.

The role had a lot of exposure to other managers and staff. I was invited to meetings and introduced to everyone. I met a lot of people and people got to know who I was.

It can be a real career boon but depends a lot on the person you're working for and what exactly you'll get to do. Hopefully the people and role are already familiar to you or something you can find out about. Good luck OP![/quote]
