[quote=Anonymous]I did exactly this and posted a very similar question on this site. The general advice I got was to go for it. I did, and I’m very happy I left. To note, my commute got better, but it was a 30 percent pay cut. Here’s some considerations - - There is a big world outside the government. I didn’t realize how isolated and insular the government is. There is so much on the outside and you can still make a difference. - I do miss my federal job and colleagues, but I miss my time pre-trump. The agency I loved is no longer there. And being a political pawn is no fun. - my stress level is so much better. The past year as a fed has been brutal and really wore on me. - I’m not at a large company, but it’s really freeing to not have so much bureaucracy and to be able to do what I think without 20 levels of clearance. - I miss my federal benefits like so much vacation time, but my health insurance off the exchange is much cheaper than FedBCBS.
