A1, most systems kick you off if there aren't at least 3 people on a conference call for more than 30 min

A1 that is amazing I will be trying that next week!

Just change the sleep settings. Keep your laptop on the charger and set sleep to 45 min or something.

Yeah, you do get kicked off if someone doesn't join after 40 minutes. But good for a little bit!

why can't you just change the status change setting to like an hour? Open skype>press alt>tools>options>status

EY2, active directory group policy settings override your Skype settings.

Jump on a conference call and dial in with your phone. GG

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
