Today is my first day as an Ad Hoc employee. I’ve watched from the sidelines over the years as they’ve hired a number of my favorite people, both former CFPB colleagues and “internet friends” whose work and careers I’ve taken an interest in. I’m looking forward to being part of the team!

The actual client I’ll be working for is… a different civilian federal agency with a financial focus. You might be thinking “out of the frying pan and into the fire”, and aren’t completely wrong about that. My discussions with folks from Ad Hoc, the “prime” contractor subcontracting to Ad Hoc, and the client agency have convinced me that the work is necessary and should be funded for some years to come. I think it will be stable at least through the length of the contract, so long as I do good work.
