Fed senior IT staff - $95K
Law firm management - $220K + bonus Late 30s/early 40s. Neither of us have moved in a while. We need the flexibility of the federal job and lower cost of insurance for small children; private sector has provided an opportunity for advancement every time boredom has approached. |

Me: Sustainability/energy management in private sector ($120k)
Spouse: Fed with PhD ($130k) I think people with comparable education, experience, and specialties to ours are earning more. We both have jobs that allow us flexibility and no travel or overtime. |

I have to laugh. You're in technology sales and hate the technology (phone) you're using. 
(and I know with your income, the technology you sell must be much more advanced. It just gave me a chuckle as a non-techie to read that) |
