I have personally avoided the federal sector, but as an associate or consultant it would be straight forward to spend 50%+ of your time in federal work. Why you would want to do that is a different question I suppose Social impact work is more competitive as many staff want to work in it, but also doable. I’ve spent about a third of my time with the firm doing social impact

What is the difference between federal and social sector??

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
