Exit opportunities for Staff 2? How are government accounting positions?

Working for the government will be the easiest job you've ever had. You will also have zero upward mobility. If a stable schedule and a 100% safe for life paycheck are what you want, go for it.

You'll also have the "protection" and work limitations of a union. One thing that surprised me about government was the cutthroat environment. There are fewer opportunities for upward mobility, so people can get pretty nasty. That's also why there are a lot of PhDs in government; they get it through a PhD mill for the extra promotion points.

You'll love it!

Government jobs have upward mobility if you want it, but you’ll typically progress slower than in public accounting.

But I agree: easy/boring.

Good morning everyone! I have a interview as a account executive position for innovation refunds, that pays 100k + and I’m super nervous to have a interview it’s been so long ! Lol but I was wondering how can I tell what kind of environment it is, and what should I look out for? I just really don’t want to go to a sales job that’s cut throat and competitive where everyone is against each other. Working remotely now I don’t have that it’s very laid back. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?
