I converted. Money is not as good. 40 hour work weeks. Paid furloughs. Your motivation is serving your country and defending freedom. Must be able to move around to get promoted. I miss being around the latest technology.

I’d think more challenging. Fed agencies use SO many contractors, but the number of Fed positions doesn’t grow much. In commercial, when you really look at how many people are in a functional delivery capability (not too many) and the number of Corp roles everywhere, I’d think it’s easier. Plus a lot of senior govt roles
are filled by political appointees from previous admins.

If the client likes you and if you’re a veteran it’s pretty easy to get into civil service because of the hiring preference.

Your long term earnings potential will take a hit though. Plus you have to worry about shut downs, furloughs, canceled pay raises, etc

New-hire consultants are a blessing here. It is very hard to staff entry level positions in the government. PM if want to talk in detail.

Would you like to spend more time with your kids? How about creating your own schedule? How would you like to work from home full-time? While many companies are either returning to the office full-time or part-time, with my company we will continue to work from home full-time.

Most individuals are not satisfied with their income level (especially after paying taxes, personal expenses, etc.) and wish they can find a way to make additional income to put toward their dream projects.

On some days I feel so low on motivation for anything that I don’t even feel like getting out of bed. Not sure it’s depression (it might very well be and I’m going to see a therapist), but are there things you do that generally puts you in a good mood and gets you going? If yes, I could use some ideas to build my own “happiness/joy toolkit” 😇

How much should Botox cost?

Never done it before. My dermatologist quoted me 550 for my horizontal forehead lines and 750 for horizontal + vertical.

Is that typical? Wondering if I should shop around.

Yes I know you need to get it from someone who knows what they're doing but, also, it's pretty obvious that drs make an absolute killing off this nonsense and it irks me to be milked.
