[quote=Anonymous]I would say first get he job and then see if you want it because I’ve seen people sure they could get in and they don’t (and I’ve seen the opposite also). No one will force you to do anything. You don’t have to stay for the pension. That said, it’s best to stay at least 3 years so that you vest your TSP matching and solidify your career status to have more ability to apply for other Federal jobs later. You’ll be giving yourself more options as your career progresses and then if you do leave you will have career status in case you choose to return. It’s true that we don’t get a huge payout as we move up in our careers, but that doesn’t mean there is not plenty of challenge to satisfy an ambitious mind. Only you know how much the money matters to you vs. the stability as you get older.[/quote]
