[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I'm an attorney who went to the private sector in my niche area and make about 50% more than when I was a GS 15, including bonus and stock comp etc. I would strongly consider going back to govt in another 10 yrs or so but not to my old job. [/b] In terms of political appointees, many make less than career feds (look up salaries - the are public) and yes worse hours and way less job security. It's more for the career jump and hoping to turn it into future opportunities and connections afterwards. SES was not a viable path in my old org due to the structure, but it's very agency-spexiifx in terms of opportunities. [/quote] This is me exactly. My comp is roughly 50-60% more than my Fed salary and I have far more flexibility (FT WFH, very occasional travel). With small kids, it's perfect. I do occasionally miss gov't but I would never go back to my dysfunctional, nasty agency again. [/quote]
