If you had the chance to completely start over with your career, knowing everything you know now about salary, stress, job security, work-life balance, and how your job actually impacts your day to day life, would you still choose the same career path you’re on today? Or would you pivot to something different, even if it meant starting from scratch again? What specific experiences, challenges, or realizations over the years would influence that decision the most?

I would take selecting my college major much more seriously. A lot of people told me it’s fine if I didn’t know what I wanted to do and I can always switch later, but no one told me that it would be such a pain to switch. All that to say, I think my lesson is learning how to really contemplate and think through big decisions is what I wish I knew how to do back then

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.

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment.

Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
