[quote=Anonymous]Wait.  WE are talking apples and oranges.  OP are you civil Schedule C or political Schedule C?  Do you have any chance at becoming SES?  Is your husband coming in as political or career and at what level?  10:31 is correct only if you are political, in which case the average stay at an agency is 18 months, but of course you can stay during the duration of the president's 4 year term but will usually be fired on inauguration day (or at least I was).  If your husband has a Biglaw position, I would encourage him to keep it and stockpile cash in case he gets fired.  He should get sufficient notice to then move into government if he wants and has a talent that is needed.  I was SES-4 and my husband political Schedule C so we were both fired on inauguration day but knew it was coming so had set aside cash.  I moved into the private sector and he started his own business.  But the economy is not as strong now.  I would advise anyone in biglaw to hang on as long as possible because those jobs are becoming increasingly rare and usually have great pay and benefits.  Make sure your husband has taken advantage of all the disability insurance, medical, life and anything else he can get while in the private sector.
