Do you all actually enjoy fed work?

I also spent two years in commercial prior to going government. The immaturity of the practice and client can be challenging, but it's better than perpetually rolling forward last year's work just to update numbers, and most of us actually have an impact on the success of the group.

The complaints about exit opportunities are laughable. That sweet senior accountant job can be done by anyone with two years of experience.

I had a small taste of commercial work when I first started and with that in mind, yes I absolutely enjoy Fed work. Even in Audit, I basically work as a consultant because my client is so ass backwards. It’s nice to perform a procedure and actually use your brain as opposed to just SALYing some bullshit that doesn’t actually make a difference.

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
