I left BAH a year ago to join a small company with a fully remote contract to enable a family relocation. Is it possible to continue to do fed work while living non-commutable distance to DC? Who’s hiring? I’d love to work HHS/DHA again.

You have some DoD, Coast Guard, and NASA down in FL to name the popular ones I’m most familiar with. I’m sure there’s demand for local support down there if it’s something you’re interested in.

On our Navy contract the rule for work is fully remote until after COVID, then “within reasonable distance” (don’t know what that means) of a Navy base. Given that bases are peppered across the US, we’ve had remote workers from Chicago to SD to Houston, DC, etc. Probably worth looking into Navy work for this reason?

I am fully remote and do fed work. It’s totally possible.

Most of the contracts require you to be onsite. But once you have built a strong skillset and reputation, you’ll have enough leverage to work remotely. Having solid client relationships helps too.

Great thread. I just left Booz for a federal job that requires relocating abroad. I'm already frustrated with the feds and ready to come back to the private sector, but it'll have to be for double what Booz was paying me.

I'm BAH3. Depends on what you're trying to interview for. If it's SWE, then make sure you leetcode easy/medium. Focus on algorithms and data structures. Cracking the Coding Interview is a great book.

Also make sure you know about some cloud/system architecture.

Don't have advise for the behavioral portion beyond using STAR method to address questions.

As others have mentioned, it would depend on the firm/contract/client. Most federal clients prefer to have face time, but if you’re able to create a good rapport then you could probably slide staying fully remote

I think with COVID, some contracts are commiting to x% remote work. More so in DC.
