[quote=Anonymous]I started as a 15 attorney and became capped after about 5 years due to progression and QSIs. I considered staying to be SES, which was feasible after a few more years, but the pay bump seemed modest, and the work life balance much worse. I ended up going private, in house at a large tech company. I doubled and a then some my maxed 15 pay in total comp (base, bonus and equity). Since then my comp is now 2.75 times the 15 max. I would say it was worth it, as my pay increased substantially and my hours are similar (DOJ). However I will randomly think about the pension and how if everything goes to crap I would be taken care of.[/quote]
