#169: Separating from Federal Government Jobs

Josh and Amelie discuss things to think about when separating from federal government jobs.

Top takeaways:

1. Before deciding whether to take a separation package, try to take the emotion out and instead think about what you want the next phase of your life to look like.
2. If you’re going through a big career transition, think of your next position as a transitional and perhaps temporary job.
3. The first, voluntary package is always better than the non-voluntary package.
4. Everything is negotiable–you may or may not get what you’re trying to negotiate but there’s nothing wrong with asking.
5. As soon as you are no longer employed, apply for unemployment.
6. Figure out what the deadlines for COBRA are.
