Hello, I worked that for the VA in that position about 8yrs ago but in Texas. It’s a great organization to work for. The benefits are amazing, pay raise every year and lots of opportunity for promotions or moving up into other positions once your in the system.

Pro tip: DIG IN to benefits. If there’s a contract, review it line by line. Idk how CA does it but in NY all the government agencies have become completely antiquated in benefits. For example, I had to actually pay my county to go on maternity leave - they forcibly took all of my paid time off and left me 100% unpaid for the remainder of my time off. No disability, no state funded family leave. I am guaranteed raises every year and am paid *fairly* well for my area, but health insurance is extremely costly here and we’re forced to contribute 3% of our income to the retirement system, while their contributions are pathetic compared to a private company where I’d be able to choose what I send to retirement and many of them are matching big numbers right now. Just dig deep
