Congrats on the internal move and finding a job-- any port in a storm. But, word to the wise, I'd keep interviewing and looking externally because being a Federal Seller probably ain't gonna be that great for the next few years with DOGE, severe cost cutting, an administration that doesn't value investment, contracts, software or professional services, etc.
Read today Deloitte is cutting from their Federal teams. I know most PubSec and Fed sellers I know are sweating it.

Sat in QBRs in Bethesda today and one of the directors caught me laughing to myself and asked if I had something to add. I said “no, not out loud.”

What I should have said was “everybody chill. We’re in a particularly nasty iteration of the simulation, and no amount of stress can reverse the systemic breakage occurring right now.”

One of the VPs actually has a practice around how to profit from DOGE destruction. I can’t wait to see that deck.

Still, after spending my first week scrambling around the beltway I’m spent. And I get to do it again next week.

Sheesh. I can’t imagine being a Federal or Public Sector technology or software sales guy right now. Talk about “the lost years”. I’m sure there will be the odd duck who can make money but the vast majority, especially anything net new, are going to gasp for air.
