Been at both. My experience at FDA was an absolute dumpster fire. That being said, it was just my project. If you want to PM me I can let you know if you’re about to walk into it or if you’re probably in the clear

FDA in white oak?

like

Gotcha. I was on a project at the FDA White Oak campus in Maryland. I enjoyed the work- clients were very smart and driven and really believed in the mission. The campus was big and modern and buildings were newish (built in mid 2000’s). Overall a positive experience with interesting work.

Air Force would require secret clearance and FDA would be public trust

If they’re willing to sponsor you, absolutely go Air Force. The clearance is really useful. And once you get into that space you can network and find contracts that might sponsor you for a TS then you’re golden.

Also, I’m in D’s Air Force account and I’m a fan of it. Plenty of work.

Do you mention who your clients are in interviews? I can never tell what the right way to do this is.
