In a way, I’m kind of glad for some of the bureaucracy I’ve had to deal with. It would be a lot more difficult to navigate the byzantine systems every organisation even remotely involved with the government seems to be obsessed with if I didn’t have years of experience already!
In all seriousness, that is a resume skill! (Process oriented, attention to detail, familiarity with complex multi-stakeholder systems etc)
I currently have jobs that are very heavy on bureaucracy (one in the org itself, the other due to client requirements) and being used to working with it and learning how they think has been a real boon. It makes some parts of the job a lot less stressful than they would be otherwise and also makes me more likely to pick up stuff that others won’t
Oh, that’s great news. Congrats KJ!
