As a current federal employee, what would you tell anyone coming in during this administration? Is it even worth it anymore for a long term career?

I have an opportunity to go back to government service. If I get the job I would be in a non-supervisory role. This is a unicorn situation, and despite me working in the role as a contractor, I would still have to compete for the position. I have my reservations of going back to work directly for the government. My agency is one where even now people love their jobs. I would have to do 14 1/2 years to hit 20 years. Is it still worth it?

I hear a lot of folks say that you just have to make it through this administration. The hope is the next administration will come in and undo this whole mess. Are we past the point where things can go back to how they were?
