When I was at D GPS, I loved my team, clients were fine, and I personally was responsible for making govt software products accessible, which I found fulfilling. The products themselves could be iffy but i knew that within that my own work was gratifying. Good times and a tough virtual goodbye..

Bro why did you even make this post🤣 I worked products used by nearly 100million americans and I worked on products used only by 100s of govt employees so the impact etc was variable. That's irrelevant to your q and my initial response. You asked about fulfillment in govt staff aug work and that's what I told you

I staffed augged the strategy function for a govt agency before. It was pretty cool and useful for my career tbh

Yep, pretty much. It was borderline just a strategy project. But technically staff aug because we sat there acting as their strategy function.

Lol this made me chuckle. I was one of the few on my gov accounts that did actual strategy, data science, and consulting-y type work. I think most folks I knew doing the staff aug work enjoyed a lifestyle life over a work life.

The WLB is unmatched, and a lot of these folks I knew were involved in a million things outside of work (rock climbing, D&I groups, raving/concerts, etc). Depends on what you enjoy with your time!

Oh im sorry, i didnt realize anyone would be triggered by my post. Ill work on that next time.
