On a federal level? Chaos is the vibe. Oh and uncertainty that’s also a pretty big vibe right now.

I'm asking in all sincerity, but do you really feel like you need to reach out to figure out how the vibe is?? I think that it feels super clear that it's a toxic, insecure place to be right now to work in gov (especially in DC!!!). I wouldn't go that route right now.

Haven't met anyone who liked DC local government. Also have heard that some offices can can have a strong, unofficial preference for their preferred demographics.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
