[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As was mentioned in another thread, the idea that most Feds take a huge pay cut to work for the government isn’t true, especially for attorneys.  There is more truth to that for PhDs and certain researchers, although there are only so many private sector jobs in these fields, especially in DC.[/quote]

It's true for me.  I get recruiters contacting me all the time, but it just isn't worth giving up the security.  Not everyone is a lawyer....get out of your bubble.

I specifically mentioned particularly for attorneys.  That hardly means I am in a bubble who thinks everyone is an attorney.[/quote]

You brought a spoon to a knife fight, mate.  I can read what you wrote.  [/quote]

If you read it, then your response was pointless.  And your analogy regarding weapons is . . . puzzling, to be charitable.[/quote]

It's a joke, friend.  And if you're going to make blanket statements about Feds, then it's not pointless to interject my experience. Have a nice day.   [/quote]

“Most” is a blanket statement, particularly when I acknowledged there were exceptions and even named particular fields where the exceptions were more common?

Feel free to keep commenting in a way that conveniently ignores what I actually wrote.[/quote]

I see. So your baseless statement about most Feds not being able to jump to the private sector for more money adds value but my statement refuting that does not.

I guess that's where we're at.  [/quote]
