[quote=Anonymous]My spouse took a pay cut when moving to contracting after 20 years in very similar work in the federal government. And she felt lucky to get it. When you lose a job in your 40s or 50s, those salaries you built up through decades of raises aren't going to be replaced dollar for dollar. That said, she was quickly promoted, and got a raise contingent on significant business development based on previous connections made during her time in the federal government. So, we're still behind financially (when you consider the increased price of health insurance in the private sector) but counting bonuses, what sounded like it would mean $30K less, really hasn't. My point is that yes, this is normal given the circumstances. Yes, it royally sucks and I sympathize. And also, compensation in consulting can work differently. You may get more bonuses and you may have more negotiation power than you think once you make it into the organization.[/quote]
