[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you had to choose between two nearly identical jobs, would you go in house or fed govt at the top of the GS scale.[/quote]

I’ve done both.  In house wins hands-down.  I’m surrounded by smart people and innovation vs a culture who clocks in for a paycheck.  Hard work is rewarded, as my boss has the discretion to give me a substantial bonus and/or stock grants.  I learn so much and my skills have multiplied. I feel like I have many options for my future career, both at my current company and if I want to move to another in house position.  I regret wasting any time as a fed, but at least I know the grass is not greener. [/quote]

Do you think a lot of this is due to the culture of the particular company you went in-house at, though? I've known people who went in-house at companies where hard work isn't rewarded and there isn't a culture of innovation, and it's been a miserable slog.[/quote]

DP.  I would also add it depends on what agency/office you are in for government work.  While the ability to give substantial bonuses are limited, there are some places in government that value hard work and legal innovation, not just clock punching.[/quote]
