“All true but life in the bureaucracy is mind numbing, obsessed with trivialities and minutea, and infested with smothering internal politics. An environment like this is not a very rewarding or motivational place to work in unless you thrive on the monotonous and tedious.”
oooh sooooo hard.
Notice, no one EVER quits a fedgov job.
“..no one EVER quits a fedgov job...”
I will add that fedgov workers are willing to overlook crimes to keep their federal jobs as well. (i.e., FBI Director, Loretta Lynch, etc.)

I did. Some people looked at me like I was crazy. Others envied my professional independence and cheered me on.
I had a good, secure job at the time but wanted to spread my wings — and increase my salary. I had just completed some advanced education and thought the time had to come to test myself in the private sector. It was a manageable risk situation; in the long run it turned out to be a good career move that led to some good future opportunities.
Eventually I later wound up working for a government chartered corporation before going back to private again. I was fortunate to be able to move around like I did. A rolling stone gathers no moss. :)
