[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I would be careful about going into the private sector here. You probably have a lot more job security as a fed and have certain benefits -- eg pension -- that would require a higher salary in the private sector to make up.

That said, it doesn't hurt to look at job postings and see what's out there. I just wouldn't make the move without carefully considering what you'd be giving up in leaving a fed job. [/quote]

As it stands, my husband is driving me to work and then driving to southern PG County for his job.  This is not working and we are working on getting another car.   This transportation issue is actually eating up a good chunk of my yearly salary anyway. Even a pay cut of $5-6k per year would not hurt.  FERS as a retirement plan is no better than the private plans I had in the past. Security is there but I know my agency is trying to automate my job function.  I can see this job becoming obsolete in the near future.

I'm fearful of change but there is NOTHING I like about this job.  I wish it was. [/quote]
