Seeking advice either from anyone already working for US GOV or any advice on how to get into it. I’m interested in working for IRS or Veterans with pm work. Any advice?

I also want to help my dad get into a permanent GOV role before he needs to retire, he’s been rejected by gov roles and can only work travel roles with fema, I don’t want him traveling as he’s getting too old and I just lost my mom a year ago. Any help would be appreciated!

The federal hiring process is tough if you don’t have some sort of hiring preference (veteran, recent grad). It’s a bit easier to get a job at a gov contracting firm. Less stability and benefits but in many cases you’re doing the same work and you may have opportunities to move to the fed side.

Government roles that aren't entry-level tend to have specialized experience requirements either corresponding to a particular profession (like lawyer or economist) or that are difficult to get if you're not already working for the government or in an adjacent role (like as a contractor.)

Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
