The very best option of this variety is an attorney at a federal financial regulator, preferably in a consumer/community area. You will get much better than GS-scale wages, amazing benefits, WFH at least half-time, and work mostly on-call (i.e. not working per se, just be available for consultation). If you work 2.5 hours/day for 5 DOW for 48 weeks (lots of vacation and holidays), that’s 600 hours of work/year. When you top out, you’ll make $300k in salary and bonus, plus 401k and pension contribution (say, another $50k). $350,000/600 =$583.33/hour. It’s like Big Law with none of the headaches.


Nope

No one is working 2.5hr/day. That’s ridiculous.

I have very flexible wfh job - took 15 years of grinding and long hours to get here. Now I have a lot of freedom. I’m not sure I’d call my job easy, but I am good at it so it doesn’t feel hard to me. Tech sales type role

I’m sure you mostly just sleep, not sleep in. If you were motivated you could take on a second job. I doubt Trump will succeed getting feds back in the office.


This PP is not a Fed, but a troll. Probably works for Trump!

You are trying way too hard.

The troll comments were about super generic "Fed" jobs that didn't describe anything about the role or work -- just Fed and very low hours. A total hack job.

The finreg job was someone guessing that a 100% remote job was finreg, and other PPs telling them that is not how FinRegs work with current RTO.

By the way, I think you double-quotes key is stuck.

And people are paying how much in tuition for this university?

I’m wondering if tuition can go down.


I doubt tuition will go down. Tuition is about $75K a year.

Fed attorney in a GCs office - basically do a little bit of everything. I wouldn't call it easy but I know it well and can figure out mostly anything thrown to me. But admit it was a bear trying to learn everything when I first came in - those first 3 years were rough but am glad I stuck it out.

I recognize this one. Federal financial regulator. Probably an attorney.


All the Financial regulators are RTO


Not really. Look at their recent job descriptions. Max is 2x/week, but many are something like 6x/month.


And none are 100% telework, and the 6x are for roles that travel a lot. Hence why PP was wrong.


None may be 100% telework, but something marginally less is hardly RTO, as most of us think of it.

As for travel, it’s considered office time. So, whatever the office requirement is, it includes travel days and on-site work at another location.


2-3x a week is most agencies standard. Once a month is an edge case. PP said 100%.


Pre-COVID, the typical arrangement was one day telework/week and every other Friday/Monday AWS. The consumer areas, like DCCA and CFPB, have always been rife with telework abuse, but they are hardly the financial regulator standard.

What abuse?


None, PP is a fake news MAGA troll
