[quote=Anonymous]Curious how others are approaching this with the nonsense happening in the federal contracting space. I have built a solid career and am now in senior leadership at a government contractor. But, that just means I have further to fall. I’m on notice that depending on how the end of the fiscal year goes for new work, my position could be eliminated. So I’m applying out as much as I can. But positions at my level and current salary are few and far between.

I currently make just shy of $275. I know I won’t find a job at that level but wondering how low I really should be considering without shooting myself in the foot. Of course  job is better than no job but going down to $150 or lower (when I last made that 10+ years ago) is a super hard pill to swallow. I’m also mindful of how it will look to go from a VP title position at a fairly large org to a Director position at a smaller org.

I know, DCUM will be classic DCUM and tell me to go apply to Costco, but I hope others who have been there done that can share their advice… [/quote]
