[quote=Anonymous]I looked at going the other way. I work in support of the gov't; I assume that is the direction you are thinking. The biggest difference is time accounting: In the contracting world, it is critical to have a project to work on; down time is very bad. If you have down time, you better be trying to find something to fill it in, or be willing to take leave (with or without pay). From what I can see, for Govies, the Government figures the hours are already spent: that your time is free. In private industry, time = money. [/quote]
