[quote=Anonymous]I'll take your story at face value. I don't think I'm too smart but I was definitely too ambitious for the government agency I worked at. Go back to consulting. My government colleagues warned me that the private sector is awful and requires long hours. But I am so so so much happier. I don't mind long hours when I like my coworkers and have work to do and deadlines. I found the slow pce of my agency soul sucking. Government has lazy people and the smart people who stick around for some reason are able to tolerate and thrive in that environment. Maybe they are more attached to the mission. Or more patient. Who knows. [/quote]
