[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Federal Reserve Board can and has laid off people. If you want more protection go civil service. [/quote]

This. There's no union at the FRB or the Reserve Banks. People do get laid off/fired/pushed out all the time for a variety of reasons. Lots of big personalities who control their fiefdoms.

That said, there's plenty of room in RBOPS, S&R, DCCA, and FS for someone with your profile. There are plenty of people who did not go to "name brand" schools and/or did night classes in stats, econ, etc. while working an entry level position at the Board. But you really need to have direct relevant experience to the position for which they are hiring. They will just leave a position unfilled until the right person comes along. Further, you're also competing with Reserve Bank folks out in the regional offices - lots of them want to land a gig in DC at the FRB and they have direct relevant experience.

TBH, its easier to get into a Reserve Bank and then lateral to the FRB after a couple years.[/quote]
