Pharmacists who work for CMS Medicaid / Medicare

[MBar]

Hi, I'm trying to see what it's like working for CMS Medicare / Medicaid for pharmacists. I know the salary is not great (i.e. govt), but what about job satisfaction, expectations/ metrics, etc. The job description involves: policy work, pharmaco-economics, law/regulations.
Anyone here currently working or has had experience with CMS?

Soooo many jobs there. It's fully remote so I'm tempted, but I just can't justify the low pay. VA pays way more.

Hi,
I have applied to CMS too, but what are the chances to get in???
I have been working almost 10 years with retail trying to switch career. Kind of confused which one to focus. I prefer WFH jobs but not sure where to look. Please guide me.
Thanks

IF it’s all the same position we’re speaking of, I got a notice of referral to the hiring manager recently but haven’t heard back. I’m just assuming it goes slowly since it’s the government.

I got an email says transferred to the hiring manager, also it says. it is tentative. I don't know what that means. overall, 926 applicants applied to that job.

I applied for ****s and giggles for the newest iteration of the posting...I thought maaaayyybe I might want the job just due to it being fully remote, but then decided I don't want the pay cut. Anyway, here's how many people applied...I don't even know how many positions there are...and yeah I did get referred but that doesn't really mean anything.

weren't these Direct hiring authority under the inflation reduction act of 2022 meaning they know who they want regardless of applicants?
