I was fine for the pay structure on its own. I gave up when I was rejected for not having the hyper specific domain experience they wanted for the pay they were asking for. This was primarily a CRUD job btw and I was qualified by any other standard.
- PyWoody 2y agoI tried so hard to get into gov't tech but ultimately gave up. Jumping from the private sector to public seems impossible to me as an outsider. A friend of mine, who is a lawyer and does HR for the federal gov't, spent about a week helping me get my fed resume tightened up and I still got nothing. I don't even care about the pay cut. It just seems like interesting work.
- lostlogin 2y agoIf you want the crap pay and crushing bureaucracy, university/academic work is similar.
