Pros

Tax free, living in the USA

Cons

Mission, goal depends on politicians in charge. Doesn't retain talent based on merit. Gender, diversity (DEI) priorities prevent talented individual reaching permanent employee status. Levels of bureaucracy not seen in the USA private sector: 10 people managing for every one person doing all work (one consultant) at the end of the chain

Pros

You get to work with elitist Spanish speaking Latin Americans who are xenophobic for people that speak other languages, who have processes, paper pushing and career progression as major objective, not real development outcomes (eradicate extreme poverty & improve quality of life in LAC).

Cons

Bureaucracy. Outdated development agency. Abusive to and misclassifying contractors. People who don’t know what they are doing or talking about. Delivers trash projects and pulls impoverished countries further into national debt. Technocratic and too much focus on metrics, not impoverished people’s lived experience.
