I don’t want to join the private sector, because I like and believe in the work, and don’t particularly want to sell my soul. I realize the trade offs I have made and most days am fine with them (for example, I am not worried about being fired because I failed to meet my billable hours). But for those who grouse about lazy, useless federal employees, don’t bonuses seem like a reasonable way to compensate high performers?

My DH is a federal employee (GS-15 attorney) and I know that he does important work. But as a person who works in the private sector, I definitely do not believe that I have "sold my soul." There are many reputable companies for which to work that provide valuable products and services in this economy.[/quote]

Sorry, PP, you are absolutely right.  This statement is based on my previous stint in Biglaw, during which I did indeed feel like I was selling my soul given the work I was doing.  I recognize not everything in the private sector is like this.[/quote]
