US gov hiring is absolutely broken. I applied for a role I'm absolutely qualified for (even referred to apply for it by someone on the team based on my resume and experience) and was rejected out of hand (twice, after an appeal too) without consideration. I'm actually willing to take a pay cut to serve my country, and I think actually you'll find senior engineers and business leaders willing to do this too, but if red tape or incompetent HR contractors get in the way, you'll lose that talent too.
