[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't quit the Feds, OP.  I also have a DH with some medical issues.  Just knowing that I could keep working, providing the health insurance and some income was really important.  My advice is to stop with one child-- the second child's expenses and complications would make it even worse.  Or wait to have the second if you are going to.

With your security clearances and experience you can get a Fed job closer to your house.  In the meantime you can go to 32 hours per week.  Just one day a week will make a huge difference for you.  You can go back to full-time if need be later.

Your child will start staying up later in a year or two, things will change.  They actually need you more later, believe it or not.  And they can tell you that too, so it gets emotionally harder.

Good luck!  Focus on the positive things... you have a job, you have a home, your husband has good medical care, your child is well.  Other people would give their right arm for those things. [/quote]

Thank you so much. Do you have recommendations for places I could be looking that are closer to MoCo? I am in risk analysis, essentially.[/quote]
Ft Meade. Cybercom, FDA, NSA, HHS[/quote]

Frankly, the commute from where I live in MoCo to NSA is probably worse than what I have now. I also know a lot of people at NSA, and most talk about how it's impossible to get promoted. The place is also going through massive reorgs (yes, multiple) right now, and it's sort of a s*tshow. I know less about Cybercom and HHS. [/quote]
