I feel like I don't work with any other women. Before I was a consultant I worked with lots of women in HR, but now I feel like it's me and a bunch of men at the company I've been at for a while and it's kind of depressing. Do you feel like there are many female government consultants, or is it a male-dominated field?

As a guy I enjoy working with other men, but I do think the field is male-dominated. I don't work with a lot of women, and when I do we don't usually have the same job. My wife loves it lol.

Hello all!
I'm 26, I studied economics but I don't know why I'm not much into investing/trading. Someone else like this?
I recognize this is not a very good approach for someone with money "knowledge" and I would like to change this mindset. My main weakness is that I easily get bored of following the market and that I do not see big opportunities. Any advice?
Where to start learning, general advice for LT and ST investments, things you learnt, books that changed your pov on the topic etc.

Thx!

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
