[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working at an independent agency is great.

I have higher salary, better pension, 8% thrift match, and more leave than most Federal workers. I'm equivalent of GS-15 in my mid 30s and will have a massive pension upon retirement after 30 years of service.

Really enjoy my job, the compensation, the interesting work, and commitment to work life balance. I could go private sector, but I will be working 80 hours week. I'd need to make more than 2x the money to compensate me for the loss of defined benefit pension and flexible work arrangements.[/quote]

What is an "independent" agency? [/quote]

Agencies that are outside the scope of the Executive branch and therefore do not have a Cabinet member.

Some, but not all, have their own budgets generated by fees and therefore are not subject to the Congressional appropriations process. Has a very real degree of independence on its day-to-day functioning from the three branches of government, but still faces a degree of oversight. It's the sweet spot.
