When I first got a rating, it was 80% and it really made me sad. “What do you mean I’m only 20% there?!” But I learned to accept it and the money opened up some doors. Then I applied for PTSD and it was the same thing - dang, my mind is really messed up. But that one brought some comfort, it explained why I did some things. Since then I’ve been trying to be on top of all my medical stuff and the money has really helped as our family has grown.

I say all that to say - take it one day at a time and enjoy whatever you can whenever possible

Hi Director (OP) -- how do we DM you? I've been out since 2022 (2010-2022 US Army Reserves; one deployment in 2012) but have always been intimidated by the application process to file disability, etc. and would love the referral!

Tried to DM you also, says you’re not available to chat. Could be your settings or how long you’ve been on FB

Hey all, transitioned from the military last spring and got a UX product manager position at a bank.

Pay is good, but missing the mission aspect of work. Have interview offers from Microsoft and Amazon for cleared PM work, but most of them are less product manager work and more adjacent program work.

This might just be grass is greener thinking, but would love to hear if you have made the transition if you enjoy cleared PM work or do you wish you stayed in the non-cleared space?
