[quote=Anonymous]I have made the jump twice in my career, to both private/non-profit work and to corporate. Salary was easy both times -- in my field fed. government definitely underpays, so even the non-profit sector was a bump in salary. Vacation wasn't as easy, not because govt benefits were so good but because many jobs have a ladder that starts out low and increases over time. In my first jump, I didn't have all that many years of experience anyway so I negotiated a little but did give up some days. However, I found time off to be MUCH more flexible in the private sector -- none of the "15 minute increments must be accounted for" of the government. My last move I just said I would not even consider less time off than I had in government (and at that point had more years of service built up), and the company delivered. [/quote]
