[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just make sure that you understand the real costs. Those private sector jobs are easier to lose, come with fewer vacation/ sick leave benefits, and often require more hours. Around 2009, a lot of people were very grateful for those "lower-paying" federal jobs. [/quote] The benefits really depend on the job--my husband had a headhunter call him--both the benefits, pay, and promotion potential were better than the feds (at a GS-13), but the job security is an issue. I would say the person who is more comfortable with risk could go to the private sector; many of my husbands fed coworkers in a STEM field are leaving or retiring and going to the private sector for 50K raises. He is thinking about it...we want to have enough money to retire.[/quote]
