[quote=Anonymous]I work at State (in L — thanks lawyer hater!). I actually think it’s hard to be an FSO in Washington, because in many gigs you’re surrounded by civil service folks who have been in their position for 10 years, so both know way more than you but are often also resentful you’re there/uninterested in helping you learn. Most FSOs hate their Washington tours until they move up the chain enough to be like a DAS level and so they’re really just trying to impress the “right” people for their next gig so they can move on through. That can definitely make them unpleasant to deal with if you’re not one of those people. On the flip side, FSOs are typically more flexible/open to input than civil service folks and is a bit smarter on average. [/quote]
