[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just offered a position with Fannie Mae (after 3 years as SAHM, phew!).  The job itself sounds great, a good match for my skillset.  I like the people I've meet so far, the boss seems very cool.  I mentioned it to a friend today and he made some negative comments about FM -- the role in the economy downturn, etc.  So that made me start to question whether this is a good move for me.  Will having this on my resume be a good or bad thing down the line?  Is there a really negative feeling about Fannie Mae in general?

What are your thoughts about FM? [/quote]

During the financial crisis, having Fannie or Freddie on your resume may have counted against you. But, it's less of a negative. They are not on the evening news every night.

In the good ole days, you probably would not have been offered a job. They did not hire from the SAHM pool. They mostly hired young and bright people who did not mind working overtime, nights and weekends. But, they are getting ready to shut down/ morph in couple of years. Everyone there are leaving. So, a good opportunity for you. You need a job, to get another job. It's a mutually beneficial.
