[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I’m guessing you are just trolling at this point, but in the event you are not, do not take this job. Your attitude about everything DC government clearly being inferior, and your sense of entitlement, will come through to your colleagues loud and clear. And as the new person who will need a lot of help in learning the nuances of DC government, the longtime employees there will not help you because your attitude is so awful. They will sit and watch you inevitably fail, and then after you leave you will be the cautionary story in the office about that uppity snob that thought DC government should be like working for Fannie or Freddie and lasted only a few months.[/quote] Not snobby I just have a skill set I could do at multiple companies. I was actually a GSE worker and to be honest they overpay. I got a 100k cash bonus each year and I got 8 percent 401k match. My base salary was 60k higher than a DC job at same level. But like with most GSE people you have if lucky 2-7 years and you get caught up in politics or a lay off. Which happened to me. I bought a house with huge downpayment and saved kids college while there so I can afford this pay cut. Just want a job 7-8 years till retirement. That said the job I have now post Fannie was a really big pay cut. Ouch. But WFH I have no staff to deal with and boss is cool. The DC job sounds exciting and mission focused. I like that. I rather do that more than my Fannie work. It is more important than current role where I basically work from basement 7-8 hours a day in my jeans and socks. I am often torn between need to give back and cash. To be honest if JUUL, timeshare company, reverse mortgage place or chemical plant wanted to pay a lot more I be conflicted. I have to balance need for cash with ethics. My small company my bosses goal is we all drive Ferrari’s in five years or go up in flames. Hardly deep thinking. I rather be a deep thinker and get more engrained in DC govt. [/quote] OK, now I know you're a moron. You won't work at a chemical plant? Because all chemicals are bad? Do you have any idea what constitutes a "chemical"? [/quote]
