Anyone here have experience or knowledge of working for the Feds? Specifically, in a financial oversight role as an bank or credit union examiner? What is like? Culture? Good exit to working mgmt in a bank?

Does anyone have any insight into this program? How is income verified?

I just interviewed with a small investment firm that purchases distressed mortgages then re-sells them in the market. They are located in the Irvine area. It's a small firm so lots of cross-functional work from business analysis to traditional analyst work in evaluating loans and pricing. Thoughts?

I work in local government - most people (administrative positions...IT, secretaries, admin managers, accounting, etc) are overpaid relative to the private sector (in terms of work ethic, education and quality work experience). I would say government jobs that deal with public safety...police...

Thanks Anteater Alum - good points and that's the struggle that I have. I do have a family but luckily my wife has the type of job where she can work from home - so she picks them up, attends the t-ball practices, etc. Sometimes I feel I am getting dumber the longer I stay here as there is no...

Thanks bkshopr for your comment(s). I really appreciate everyone on this forum pitching in with their comments. I currently live in the Meadows community in Porter Ranch. Thinking about leasing it and moving on to another home, maybe in the Simi Valley area (prices are dropping for newer...

All good comments so far. Thanks!

<p>My tenure at the accounting firm was mostly performing internal audit engagements for 1B+ companies. Now, with this government job, I am a project manager for IT-related projects. I also graduated with an MBA in June 2006 from UC Irvine. I am currently residing in an S&S home in Porter Ranch...

<p>Sorry for the confusion but the emotional and psychological impact (negatively) by working in government. It gets so frustrating here sometimes...very slow, lack of leaderhsip, no accountability, laziness, etc. I am afraid that this type of work environment will affect me personally and may...

<p>I used to work for an accounting firm (Big 4) but then moved onto a government job (local government). What a change of pace! The main driver for switching was becaused I had surgery last year and needed to slow down a little bit due to the travel and long work hours. It's been about a year...

<p>Does anyone know of any similar websites like this one that covers the west valley area (simi valley, porter ranch, calabasas, etc)? It seems, based on purchased prices and current listed prices, there some pain to be had in these areas as well.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks!</p>
