[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is not a pay cut, that is an insult. Is there any way you would be promoted in the gov job? It would be a no for me. [/quote] I took a 60k pay cut to join as an attorney in an agency (federal job). I was late 30s then. The gap between the private sector and the government can be large for some sectors, some jobs. It is what it is. 6 years later, I'm still earning 40k lower than when I left my job. Again, it's a tradeoff some are willing to take. For me, it's the guarantee that I can work another 25 years, well into my mid 60s, without worrying about job security and also the 40 hours with no sudden evening and weekend work that makes it easier for me to be available to my two young kids.
