Needing some general advice from my fellow federal contractors. This past year I joined a small consulting firm for a pay bump since I just started out 1 year ago and was placed at 95k on a policy team. Over the year there was 2 people fired from my team and one quit leaving just myself and the team "manager". This lead to way too much project deliverables not being met. End of year review was not favorable and it seems I was made the scapegoat taking a hit financially advice?

Wait. They took money out of your base because of a year end review?

🚩🚩

Blaming Someone with <2 YOE for missing contractural deliverables seems like, frankly, a pretty toxic place. You’re early in your career- find another place and good luck!

Do you enjoy the work otherwise? How were your coworkers? Would you feel comfortable following up with your old manager?

like

Your salary base should not jump that much based on which project you are on…

I say get out whether you have a new job or not. They cut half your team and then hold YOU responsible for not meeting deliverables? And your manager didn't help you at all? F those aholes.

My manager made it sound like they went to stand up for me in our meetings but the end of year showed otherwise. I brought it up and it seems Management colluded.

as someone who went from a big contractor to a small, toxic one, get out as soon as you can. You’re early enough in your career that this will be a lesson for your tool kit. I’d leave ASAP.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
