[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP are you technical or business side?
What level fed?  [/quote]

technical. GS15 non supervisory[/quote]

Isn't that kind of the fed position everybody wants? I mean, I am sick of federal work so I'd do anything to get away from it. Still, you're in a pretty good position.[/quote]

well yeah, i loved my job and was going to retire here. but times have changed drastically and its likely my agency will be wound down like USAID etc. [/quote]

NRO is hiring right now, with direct hire authority, including positions up to GS-15. Their hiring waiver is limited - mostly targeted for technical positions (GS-1550, -801,-854,-855, and more). They need software people and engineers with technical experience. They also are not going to be eliminated, so more stable than most Fed jobs.

A smart Fed might transfer there. [/quote]

What are the implications of going from a career fed to a direct hire? Won't you be probationary?![/quote]

No.  “Direct hire authority” merely means the hiring org can make the hiring decision internally. They do not need send an HR package to OPM to approve the offer.[/quote]

it also means that when transferring from another agency they can subject you to a one-year probationary period.

source: transferred to a different agency on a direct-hire 2210 posting as a career fed, was placed back on probationary status.

that said, a NRO position is probably better than a random AWS one.[/quote]
