Why the Fed? |
| The Fed provides the perfect mix of challenging work with an appreciation for work-life balance, which can be hard to come by in New York City. I was also impressed not only by the caliber of the Fed’s staff but also by the enthusiasm and commitment that employees display towards their jobs. |
My Responsibilities |
| In Corporate Affairs, we provide advice to the Fed on a host of legal topics from tax to immigration, with the majority of our time being spent on employment-related matters. Specifically, I review policies and procedures to ensure that they are in compliance with ever-changing employment laws and provide advice to management on a variety of employment issues. |
Challenges and Rewards of My Job |
| My biggest challenge is also my greatest reward: I never know what the day is going to bring. A calm morning spent conducting research can quickly change to a busy afternoon filled with impromptu meetings. |
| How Is the Fed Unique? |
| Since joining the Fed just a few months ago, I have been amazed at the Fed’s interest in its employees and in providing a fun and fulfilling work environment. |
