[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think, like others have pointed out, you are valuing the fed benefits a bit much. While not terrible, the TSP match is pretty close to what I have seen as average in the private sector and the pension as others have noted is not all that great anymore. Vacation is in line with private sector once you have 3 years of service but the sick time is nice. I have been at places in the private sector that have from a few days of additional sick leave to unlimited so the fed's is generous but not the best i've seen. And the health benefits are pretty in-line with the private sector. The real thing the fed has (at least for me) over the private sector is reasonable hours and flexibility. I'm currently a GS 15 and struggle with this very question. I think I would need a 20-30% bump in base salary and a reasonable bonus potential at the new gig.[/quote]
