Anyone have experience working for the NGA as a civilian? Saw a cool job post but hesitate to consider non-contractor roles in a new organization (mostly due to salary/benefits constraints)

Anecdotally I've heard they're one of the agencies that likes to hire everyone as a GS-10 or other low grade, but I have no personal experience with NGA to confirm that.

Hi Fishes,
I'm currently working for a fintech firm as SQL Developer which has got me into a toxic working culture(zero support from colleges) with no learnings so far.

Although, I'm from a Commerce domain..I wanted to move into Data Analytics so I learned SQL and Tableau on my own to get myself better Data Analytic job opportunities to build my career in.

However, without any live projects and hands on experience on the tool, I could only learn a few things about these two mentioned tools. So

First year associate, out of A3 clerkship. I need to stay at the firm for a year to keep my bonus, which I need to pay my loans, but I'm gonna GTFO the minute the year is up. Even at a nice firm, expectations and WLB are unbearable. How to I make it through the year with my sanity intact?

I’m currently an associate with an asian asset management company. I previously have been in pr agencies where work is fast paced and as an intern, i understood the intensity needed to work and consider myself as someone who is really willing to work hard long hours and deal with pressure. This role is something Ive wanted as in to break into the finance world. They described the company to be a fast paced one as they deal with multiple launches but i am finding it slow. Any tips?
