Not the OP, but I'm going to guess that there's not much growth for a Medicaid number cruncher. Maybe management? [b]But then why get a PhD if you want to get in government management?[/b]

OP, where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years?[/quote]
There are a lot of reasons why one might do that. I have a STEM PhD and would love to still be at my Fed job...even though I make multiple times that at my current job.

OP, it really, really matters what you want to do with your life. The $150K offer in Redwood City is good money for someone fresh out of school, and your income will grow very quickly if you do well at your job. More concerning is that you come across rather clueless and not particularly self-aware. That sounds harsh and might be untrue; I'm just basing it on your posts as a way of pointing out how you are presenting yourself. That attitude is not going to garner you PhD wages, because employers expect that hiring a PhD comes with a certain amount of resourcefulness and maturity.[/quote]
