In the past, government jobs were seen as more secure than cooperative or private jobs. Today, the situation feels different. In comparison, some cooperative roles offer better pay, growth, and flexibility, while government jobs don’t always feel stable anymore. If you get a chance to move into a government job now, what would influence your decision—or would you not want to join a government job at all? Share your thoughts based on today’s market.

I wouldn’t touch a government job with a 10 foot pole under this administration

No body wanna do specially this time

Absolutely not under the current US administration.

Totally agree with you

No chance. There is nothing stable about the US government in 2026. I wouldn't even consider it.

From 2025 situations change totally

I think it depends on the position. While I don't necessarily want to work for the government, I might consider it for the right role.

Yeah job position very important

Completely depends on the pay and the position for me. I’d consider it if the benefits were strong enough

What about job security.?

If the benefits were good enough with pension, I might consider

What about job security

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k
Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares
TC: 122k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
