[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly do not understand how a SES can be so niche DC that none of the skills or expertise or subject matter can be used anywhere except the current job. 
It's  EXECUTIVE service. There have to be executive skills? [b]Companies want DC type expertise and experience for strategy, regulatory matters, lots of things. [/b]OP spouse should spend $1k and talk to a career coach.

No, they don't.  That's the problem.  [/quote]

Facebook fired all their policy and regulatory people.

I mean, what regulation do they have to negotiate?

Strategy of govt is radically different.

OP’s DW is also likely old, AND a woman, which are huge disadvantages to transition into an executive role. [/quote]

There's more out there than Facebook. Pharma, pesticide, energy all have reg regimes. Just a start. [/quote]

Her expertise is only relevant to a field that is actively laying off people. All her VERA colleagues are not finding work and trying to come back.

My industry only has jobs out west more or less; I was in a niche that has heritage here in DC. Now that it’s going away there is nothing.  I guess I could could make 1/3 the salary as a teacher? But DW hates her job and wants a path to quitting not becoming even more of a breadwinner [/quote]
