[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For someone at 55 who is making 200K in a non-managerial role, is federal employment makes sense? Work is stressful and lot of office politics and not much pleasure. Don't feel like moving to another company as it may not be that different based on my 30 y experience. Will pension and medical benefits in federal job with lesser stress for next 10 years is enticing?[/quote] Made a move from private firm to state government at age 41. Pay cut was huge for me: $135k to $88k. But I work 38 hours instead of 60-85. I have probably 15% of the stress I had before. Pay has crept back up to 110k now at age 43. It was worth it for me and my family--and I'm the sole breadwinner. I now have the time to think about other things, which has replaced some of the income (rental property). I go to the gym. I have time for vacations and meeting my family at the lake at lunch. Do the math, but I'd do it over 100/100.[/quote]
