[quote=Anonymous]Right. People are ready for you to go because your impending exit is what they've always wanted to do but they never had the balz initiative, or opportunity. Somebody moving on, potentially to something better or higher-powered, rubs alot of federal people the wrong way out of jealousy or resentment that they are losing their power over you.I have been continuously amazed at the number of federal people I've met who have stayed at the same crappy job for 5 to 35 years because they get into some kind of sick "comfort zone" there. My one caveat is always make sure that your next job is always "better" (higher GS level or at least better working environmentl) than your last. Make sure to do lots of professional development, even if it's on your own time and own dime. Don't give too much notice. A good way to stradle the line is to give only 2 weeks, but make yourself available for questions beyond that. [/quote]
