The great thing about working at the FDIC is that the work was interesting and challenging.

A typical day at work generally invovles financial analysis and writing. An examiner's job is to convey the findings of a bank examination in well-written findings.

Most of my co-workers are intelligent and good people to work with. – more... Overall, the hardest part of the job is sometimes dealing with subjectivity and the sheer boredom that can occur when there are no real assignments to accomplish.
