Just left DoD civ life and started my new position this week. Let me tell you, breath of fresh air (figuratively and literally, spent 12 years working in a windowless vault). Leaving govt civilian was definitely the right choice. Already feel like my quality of life has improved. Was scared to make the jump at first but I fortunately landed with a great team. Upwards and onwards!

Thank you. I’m trying to get out as well. During office re-entry, I stepped into my windowless, interior, beige office and said “oh %^% no” and immediately started searching. I hit 20 years next month so I’m taking my FERS with me!

As I'm very new here, should I be trusting the word of mouth? It all happened over call. Please suggest
