[quote=Anonymous]It's better to wait until retirement eligibility and then move at the earliest opportunity, with the cushion of a federal retirement income and health care benefits to fall back upon if things don't work out. The tradeoff then is giving up the potential for a somewhat higher eventual government annuity, due to more years of service, in favor of an immediately higher compensation package in the private sector. There's risk, but it can be worth taking. if you leave the government before retirement eligibility, and a private sector role doesn't last long, you may be hosed. The risk in this scenario is very high. It may only be worth taking if you have a good Plan B, e.g. a significant spousal income such that your potential unemployment in a year or so would not be devastating to your long-term financial security.
