[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does job security factor into your analysis?  It's obviously great in the federal sector and very bad at a private law firm (in other words, the knock on the door and the hey, got a few minutes, talk and resulting layoff can happen anytime).  This played a big role in my decision--a jump from a 15 to a firm was only worth it for double the pay.[/quote]

I'm not in law, I'm in IT, but i worked a government job for a year and wanted to kill myself due to the system and the people i was surrounded by (entey level so i suppose i wasnt surrounded by the best and brightest). I don't see how job security even matters.

I'm grazing 200k as a sales engineer, plus I have RSUs, which have nicely padded my financial long term security. I'd have to be laid off a loooooooong time before job security would matter.

I'm 32. What does the average 32yr old make in government with 10 years out of undergrad? I can't imagine if you make over 180k with good benefits in the private sector in your early 30s job security for a salary 70% of that makes much sense.[/quote]
