Pros

WFH very easy work, work-life balance is great

Cons

jobs for new graduates will start $50-$65k with 2-3% salary increases per year. Similar pay to an NGO or non-profit. very little learning opportunities, most of the work for new hires will be intern-like. do not expect to learn anything in your first two years.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoy working from home and appreciate the work-life balance. Navigating growth opportunities within a company can be overwhelming. We provide various learning options, including project management, business development, and both professional and technical training. You can choose from on-the-job training, mentoring, peer feedback, online courses, or instructor-led classes. Start by creating a Career Pathfinder Development Plan and scheduling an impact conversation with your manager to discuss your career goals. The impact conversation is a great opportunity to learn about ICF’s compensation philosophy and discuss what’s needed to get you to your desired pay. - KZ
