Love this work -life balance. Work from home all week. Barely had work to do. Literally no work today. This is pretty much PTO without actually using it.

Hey I was low balled at the law firm I was at and was making 40 - I graduated college in 2012, was going to go into the marine corps but life circumstances changed that, it was the dream to kick down doors and blow shit up for 'Merica --- took a gap year to figure shit out after college cut trees arborist climber, was a contractor (house building), ski bum at a ski place as an instructor and lift person, then worked with horses at a barn for a few months before coming to DC to job hunt. It was a fun year. I came to DC and worked (interned but it was a full time@job that wasn't paid #slavery) at a boutique GR firm where I set up round table discussions between industry leaders and admirals in the Navy and worked on policy for defense manufacturing. Then got the job at the law firm because it was a steady salary and had good exit opportunities to consulting. Networked like crazy and got in an at BAH and took it because I saw BAH as a stepping off point into the consulting industry. I wanted it more than they wanted me. I also was a dumbass and told them my salary at the law firm when they asked, I wasn't strategic. I've since learned my lesson. I've basically been doing my best to kick ass at BAH and saw the 13% raise since starting a year ago. But my team is shifting to more staff aug when my projects so far have been traditional transactional consulting work --- so I'm mostly trying to jump ship because I want to continue being a consultant and not a government contractor. It seems like it's easier to leave the firm than switch teams.
