[quote=Anonymous]I was a GS-15/10 with cyberpay. $220k is certainly good money, but it was far from my earning potential. I might have been okay to continue at that earning level indefinitely except for: 1) A pretty painful work environment with a lot of focus on empire building rather than mission. 2) A high concentration of low EQ and/or low skill coworkers who we can't get rid of. 3) Inflation cutting into my pay and an increasing delta between my comp and earning potential. 4) No real upward mobility. At a certain point, it all became too much and I bailed to industry. More than doubled my pay, reduced my stress, improved my career opportunities, and gained all the flexibility and accountability of a well-funded private sector firm. I'm very glad I made the move, but many govies wouldn't be successful in the transition.[/quote]
