[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left because I topped out, and with 15 years left to work, it didn't make sense with what I could earn in the private sector to continue to sit and never make any more money aside from COLA. I wasn't interested in SES life. [/quote] This is exactly my story. Very glad I made the move. [/quote] That's surprising, you must be an attorney and got your GS15 in your 30s? Most GS15 are well into their 40s or 50s (though I guess you left when you were 45?). With ageism what jobs can you lateral to AND make more money at? I've tried to go private for almost a decade, but after 40 and a decade in the gov, the options have been limited and not worth changing (lateral pay for more demanding jobs and zero career progression discussed)[/quote]
