For anyone wanting to pursue it and needing more money there’s opportunities up the ladder but you’ll either need to dedicate a lot of time or get a master degree. FemaleWhite

About a year and a half in the role. But had 3 years experience in the field of higher education prior.
Never feel bad for maintaining healthy work/life boundaries. People in the field use “tradition” as a way to guilt and gaslight employees into working well over their hours while being severely understaffed/height turn over, and with no budget. Be upfront about your expectations and don’t be afraid to hold folks accountable. Lastly, don’t be afraid to leave if you’re not in the right working in environment or have the right departmental support. Sometimes, the grass can be greener on the other side, but you have to be willing to go and see it for yourself!Female African American
BS in Psychology and MS Counselor Education
No
While the field use to require a masters and maybe 2 years or more years experience, you now can get by with a bachelors and transferable experience.

It's helpful to network with various people in the field broadly and get your name out there. Unfortunately, many government jobs hire internally or from their pool of acquaintances so networking or doing internships can help a lot. I did an internship with my current organization 2 years before I got hired.

29Chicago, ILAccount DirectorPharmaceutical Marketing$137,7007Network!! It really is all about who you know, and referrals are huge. Reaching out to people on LinkedIn that work in an industry or at a company you’re targeting is a great way to make connections early and learn more about what it’s like to be in that role. Also, leverage alumni groups and local meetups to further build those connections off LinkedIn. Every year I look forward to my old professors sending new grads my way, and I’ve helped quite a few of them get jobs either at my company or similar companies through friends and other contacts. Also, if you can find a niche in advertising, you’ll be golden. Pharma pays well and is very nuanced, and developing those skills specific to that industry will make you high in demand.

Being a veteran was helpful with getting a government job. I work in the healthcare management field so having a degree in that field helped when it came to negotiating pay (with a BA/S you can come in as a GS 7 and an MBA/JD can possibly get you in at GS 11 (don’t quote me on this lol)) and healthcare is complicated so it helps to know the formal academics side of it all.
