40 hours a week, go home.

Flexibility? Not sure about that

Depends on the project, really hard to generalize project experiences to an entire department.

In aggregate and in contrast with commercial, however, it will probably be much slower pace than you are used to.

It’s more a function of firm than client. What I mean by that is a McKinsey or BCG DOD project is NOT 40 hours per week

Agreed...I averaged 75 hrs/wk on my DOD project

Every project I ever had with DoD had good hours. Pace was consistent and sometimes slow. Lots of bureaucracy sometimes around decisions, but pretty cut and dry with what needed to be done.

Any other lonely social workers in here? I mean a lot to some of the people on my caseload but that's about it.

Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!
