[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are not a lawyer, steer clear of the SEC.

Everyone, from HR to IT and everyone in between, gets the pay bump.  Not sure why people should steer clear of that.  Accountants make the same as lawyers, even though private sector salaries are usually lower, so not sure why they would avoid it either.[/quote]

I wasn’t referring to the salary. It’s just if you’re not a lawyer, you will have no clout at the SEC.[/quote]

I dunno. I moved from another agency within the last year, and I have been pleasantly surprised. My teammates are fantastic, and the people I work with on other teams have all been fairly nice. There is a lot more bureaucracy and politics that I was used to, and oh holy hell my ears feel like they are going to fall off from all of the meetings, but I can't imagine trying to go through this pandemic at my last agency. I feel like I have reasonable influence for what I work on, which is enough to make me happy.

One note for the extra 3% match-- it's straight cash that sits in an account until you vest at 3 years. I have no idea if I will be here that long, but it'll be a nice bonus if I am. There are short term and long term disability plans; they have their own life insurance plan that is much less expensive than the federal one; they are currently offering 20 hours of admin leave per pay period due to COVID on top of the CARES act sick leave, and they have their own parental leave policy in place that has no wait period, before the federal one goes into effect oct 1. also you can carry over 320 hours of vacation, rather than the standard 240.
