Is it worth it to move from federal government job to contract to hire machine learning position? Current manager is very incompetent. We don't have real project now. I am not growing my skills here. Is 25% pay hike enough for the risk I am taking ?

Is the 25% pay hike inclusive of benefits? Typically contract roles don’t include it.

If it is, I would do it. If it isn’t, I’m not so sure.

Then if you’re willing to be in an uncertain role, then do it. Only thing that can hold you back is your risk tolerance

Have considered the same when job searching. I’ve been Federal for years & my husband works in Civilian sector & always says stay Federal but I’m not so sure.

Hi all,
Hope you are doing well.

I have joined Accenture as fresher at Level 11 in August 2021.
After 2-3 months I finally got a project in AWS IoT Domain.
So I am currently working in AWS serverless project where I made some AWS Architectures and implemented the entire flow using Python. I have also done AWS Developer Associate Certification.

It's been a year now. Still I feel like I have not learnt much. Can someone suggest how should I upskill myself?
