Or move on to jobs that pay better [/quote]

If there are jobs that pay better for which you’re qualified, why are you in the federal government in the first place?  I’m not trying to snarky- this is an honest question.[/quote]

Like most Feds, I started off in the private sector. I really didn't like the uncertainty: it was worth a large pay cut, to me, to gain some stability and not constantly be scrabbling for the next client.

When I left private the first time, I took a 60% pay cut and gave up the ability to own stock. The pay difference going back wouldn't be as stark because I earn more today, but I could still find a job paying at least 150% of what I make now, probably with better perks. Would it be hard and unpleasant? Sure, but I'd do it.

What I don't think the haters realize is how [i]their [/i]jobs will be affected by a job market that's suddenly awash with smart, experienced people who are used to working for considerably less than the market rate. Good luck keeping your job in that environment. [/quote]

You don’t own any stock? You divested your entire portfolio? What agency makes you sell all of your securities? [/quote]
