I’m new here. Can I please get some likes 😩
What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.

Your annual leave doesn't get paid out? I would work and take the leave pay out.
I agree with this. If that is an option then that is what I would do.
Giving two weeks notice is the standard procedure. Assuming you're leaving on good terms, I don't understand why you wouldn't want to do that. It would mean not burning any bridges. And it's just the right thing to do.

Plus you might want to come back once this madness is over
Why is unused annual leave a consideration? You will get paid out any PTO that you haven’t used.
Annual leave can not be used as terminal leave but it does get paid out in lump sum upon resignation. Sick leave will stay on the books in case you return to federal service. then SL will be restored. Some Different rules will apply if you retire
You might want to consider discussing your unused annual leave with HR. In some positions, unused leave can be paid out depending on your agency’s policies. If you’re in a situation where you might leave without using the leave, you could potentially request to take it as paid time off during your notice period.
Very true. Some program offices and our companies have a pay out limit as well. If not specified in any form of direction, they may pay out any amount. To restate, it's always best to ask HR directly.
I left my government job after 15 years and have regretted it ever since. The insurance and vacation was much better. I wish I had never left.
Not all government positions are the same. Some are absolutely horrid despite the benefits.
two week notice and close that chapter, congratulations!
Take the Voluntary Separation Incentive Payments (VSIP) Offer. You will get your leave and a payout for leaving.
People always get caught up with using there vacation time and PTO before leaving a position. If ones goal is to advance carreer wise , then make the move . Don't debate about unused time, or department issues. Move on to the next career or job! Or you'll be another person saying to yourself "I wish I would've, but I didn't so now I'm stuck and miserable....
I worked for a government agency and resigned due to relocation. I had two jobs in the private sector. The first, althought I asked them as many questions as thesy asked me during the interview process they were forthright with lots of thing. I was able to secure another postion with a well known company and they expected us to be available 24 hrs 7 days a week. Absolutely no description of the work I was responsible for, no training on any systems, absolutely no information was regarding work was shared with me. I have been in the work force a long time and have changed positions before and never experienced anything like this. Again, asked lots of questions except lots of misinformation. Beware, the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Many of them are using their leave. For example; their last day in the office is x and their last day of service is x+14.
Great But if you want to Join Private sector You should ready to New challenge and Commitment , Because Harder than Gov sector ,
I gave two months notice last year to leave on the best terms possible and provide plenty of time for turnover to minimize impact on the mission as I was in a one-deep slot. My hours of unused annual leave was paid out in full, my organization doesn't even begin the process of replacement until a person is officially out the door.
I share the very same sentiment . I am having some regrets, leaving the Goverment sector for a private company, but still trying to embracing the change on my new journey.
Schedule your time off and use your leave up. Sick time too. Then when you are due to return to work, give notice. Get out before something else happens.
I left from Government to private last year. After the company was bought out from a new owner— I was laid off cause I was the most recent hire who did not have tenor. I even invested in the company by getting a new vehicle to drive the 250 miles a week for them.
They have not paid me the gas money or tolls for what they still owe me after 6 months.
I was always warned about going private but thought, “that would not happen to me.”
It has placed myself and my family in a hard place and Insituforms Technologies does not show any care for the damage they have done to me.
The grass is not always greener…
Just know that if you resign, you are unable to collect unemployment benefits. That means for those looking for a job in the private sector, you will be competing with hundreds if not thousands for the best jobs. I saw a job last night where the were over 18,000 applicants in less than a day! Just tread carefully and know your options.
You get PTO pay depending on how you separate.
The government sector is always a bit iffy when it comes to resigning a position. "Yes" to the standard two weeks notice. However, some may request you stay until they can fill your position. Obviously it's a request. However, just as previosuly stated in other comments, you never want to burn a bridge or leave on "bad terms." Especially if you may be open to revisiting the government sector later on, or have to list professional (leadership and subordinate) references down the road. Some positions/companies ask specifically when applying, "Did you resign with atleast a two week notice." I personally have applied to positions where the job requisition on USAjobs specifically asked.
Considering doing the same myself. Have done interview after interview to get no where it's at the stage it feels like I am purposely been held down. Done an interview lately for the private sector came out feeling like they actually had an interest in me and my capabilities. Compared to feeling attacked in the public sector interviews
