[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've worked in a number of typical DC industries. Non-profits and unions and associations: The pay for manager and director level positions can out-pace comparable level private sector jobs. Folks are stealing money in kushy gigs. IT Gov contracting: Saw lots of folks getting paid to do nothing (tech writers, project managers, program managers) while programmers slaved away to maintain ancient legacy systems. We seriously had a 65 year old Colbol programmer on the team to maintain one system. Poor guy worked 60 hours weeks. [b]Financial services: Most financial advisers are dumb as rocks, just peddling boilerplate strategies that they don't really understand themselves.[/b][/quote] +1000 Unless you're talking about people who manage Bill Gates' fortune or something like that, this is accurate.[/quote]
