[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow people here must really love the SEC and/or really be scared of any potential instability in the private sector. I'm not even a 16 - currently a 14 making 225k. I'd leave for any offer at 250k+. Yes I understand I give up things like a pension and cheap healthcare, while taking on layoff risk. But IDK you only live once and to me that's too short to be pushing paper with govt workers forever just for stability and a pension at age 62. YMMV.  [/quote]

I think you have never had a private sector job right?[/quote]

9 yrs in NYC biglaw. Came up for partner just after the recession - didn't make it as my firm merged with another. Took a job in govt bc DH had an opportunity in DC. Was never my cup of tea and still isn't. Thankfully DH's time in DC is up so hopefully I'm out of gov't soon anyway, as I don't intend to seek a transfer to the SEC in NYC.[/quote]

Do you prefer BigLaw to SEC?? You are definitely a minority. And I assume no kids. [/quote]
