I am in the enviable position of being able to afford to take a huge pay cut and go work for the US Digital Service. I would actually love to-I think good government needs good tech, and I believe in the ability of USDS to make (however small) an impact on peoples' lives and interactions with the federal government. However, I am _not_ going to move to DC to do so.
It seems like USDS would be an ideal candidate to allow a bunch of remote employees, and yet they don't, because...reasons.
- biesnecker 3y agoI interviewed with them in 2022 and was offered a position, but decided not to take it and pursue another opportunity elsewhere. At the time it was remote and I was told that "technically you could be asked to RTO at some point, but we don't expect we ever will be." Honestly I love DC but would be pretty pissed right now if I'd taken that position expecting to work remotely.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoUSDS hires remote. I would encourage you to apply. Good people are needed for impactful work at scale. https://www.usds.gov/apply https://www.usds.gov/apply > We’re currently hiring both remote employees and people who are local to Washington, DC. If you have additional questions about remote or in-person work, please reach out to the USDS Talent Team at talent@usds.gov. (although not recently, have gone through an interview cycle with them when remote was not an option)
