Are there government jobs for us advertising/digital people? I'm mid-career, and thinking rather than going back up the chain again (I already came back down from VP/GAD into a media director roll for less BS) I want to evaluate public service. I know there's gotta be that kind of role, but I have NO idea where to start.

Working at agencies that have govt and public sector clients is a good way to dip your toe into that world and make a long term transition if you’re seeking an actual public sector job.

Alternatively, peruse usajobs.com and see what kind of jobs are there that might interest you. Good luck!

Was coming here to say the same thing. Every large agency will have a Federal team that specializes in gov’t accounts. Highly recommend exploring this path before applying for a job within the gov’t. It’s definitely not for everyone...there are a lot of benefits (recession-proof, working on projects that serve the public good, etc.) but also a lot of roadblocks.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
