For those in federal but not based in DC area, do you feel it disadvantages you career and opportunity wise and wish you lived near DC or hold no regrets living outside greater DC area because you like where you live?

Nope. I’m out west and head to DC when needed. No big deal.

I know a lot of people who work on federal consulting projects who are fully remote, so it probably makes no difference. I also know a lot of people who work on highly cleared work so in person. I personally have been in the DC area my whole life and can’t wait to move cities.

You should break your thoughts up into different sentences.

DC/nearby 'burbs are nice... if you can afford the nicer areas and avoid a long commute.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
