Considering a federal job offer requiring 2 days in office per week. Could this change with the new administration? I’m a parent of two young kids. Thanks!

Seeing as how the new administration has already stated he's pushing for RTO for federal employees and to get rid of fed jobs entirely I wouldn't change if I was you.

I assume most positions are going to have telework revoked completely.

I think it is worth looking at which agency. I'm not sure how union negotiated contracts requiring only 1/2 in office days impact the RTO stance but that seems like a bigger lift to make those folks come in 5 days a week.

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help.

I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.
