[quote=Anonymous]It became clear my job would end at the end of the FY. I applied to 80 jobs, got interviews for three. Of the three, one hired someone else (who I know and like--we both would have been good choices!). One offered the job at a salary so low it made more sense to get fired, collect severance and unemployment, and work at minimum wage for a few months while continuing to search. And one was a significant pay cut but has nice coworkers and is in my field. I start that one later this month. I still hope to be a a fed again one day, but this is fulfilling work that keeps me in the loop and puts an end to the uncertainty about what I'll be doing for the next couple years. I'm very grateful for that, and I hope the others searching find something decent as well. [/quote]
