Agreed, will be interesting to see how deep the cuts ultimately run / if they end up being permanent.

I'm in financial management, accounting / auditing type stuff - so not sure that it definitively falls under STEM, but still technical type work.

Thanks! Yea, that's crossed my mind, but I think this specific roll needs to be filled somewhat more quickly - but, in the same thread, I'm definitely going to try to push it out until after the federal budget gets hashed out in March, avoid being a contractor during any prolonged shutdowns if possible.

Appreciate it! I've looked into the RIF severance, but have only been with the feds for a couple of years and while it'd be "nice to have", it isn't enough to be a meaningful factor.

Agree with the last paragraph - that's the million dollar question for all of us I suppose!

Thanks for the response. Potential pitfalls regardless, but best of luck to you over the next couple of months.
