Got my first dev job last November and I've been working as a contractor for the government. Supposed to be on a 4 year contract job, just found out that out project is being pulled in September. Is this common for federal contract work? My Human Resources team haven't been very helpful in explaining the process to me. Is private sector development any less volatile? I don't have a mentor or anybody I can bounce questions off so sorry if this is more or less common knowledge :/

    Private sector jobs are a lot more stable, yes

    When I left the military, I had two choices. I chose not to work for the government. I haven't regretted that choice.

    Obviously position in the org matters but yeah, in my experience gov give ok benefits but more or less unstable for contracts, especially for grunt work tech roles.

    @crooks5001 very common. But depending on what you want to do, worth the risk.

    @crooks5001 if you continue wanting to be a contractor, or even a gov, lmk. I can have friends look into openings out there (looked at your profile for location) for you.
