5. It's not that dramatic

Sure there might be some small changes here and there but the funding and responsibilities of each specific agency is defined by Congress, most major changes have to come from them. I worked under Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden before I retired, started with DOT and ended under DHS. I can’t really think of much that was notably different for the employee from one administration to the next besides a few brief government shutdowns during that time. Federal bureaucracy is convoluted and not very efficient, makes major changes difficult and incredibly slow especially since it takes a few years minimum to litigate pretty much everything, not much can be done in just a 4 year term.
