@OP, I like to talk to people. So I usually network, whether they are in my line of service or not. And I follow up with them, and we become friends and talk. When there is opportunity coming up, they often times think of me and that's what keep me going! The company is so big, so many opportunities just internally.

OP - I think you need to let HR know that you'd even be willing to switch companies or they may not take you seriously.

Be very clear about public sector that you want federal. Plenty of people on public sector work travel. I know, I've done it for 4 years.

Question...do you it'd be possible to ask about a public sector project that could be a lot more local? Or is that pushing it

Try IT Audit

Totally different from tax audit stuff I'm assuming? @K1

I'm close to DC @A1 that's why I was wondering

@OP, yes. There is a way. Make connections, find opportunities locally. It all works out in the end. I did it! :)

Yes it's advisory and probably one of the only advisory service lines aside from fed that stays local

How did you make these connections/ find opportunities? I could be okay with staying with the firm if I stayed love @P1

I think it is perfectly reasonable.

I'm having a chat this week and I'm trying to figure out how to phrase it. Because I don't want it to sound like "hey I'm looking for other jobs because I want to be local", but I would much rather stay near family at the moment.

Talk to partner also

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
