[quote=Anonymous]Agree that the professional-level feds get paid less than private sector, whereas the jobs requiring lower levels of education get paid more than private sector. Here's a CBO report that talks about this: http://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/attachments/01-30-FedPay.pdf Personally, I left a $260k private legal job for a $120k federal job. I did it because I am passionate about the work and wanted to contribute to society. Turns out, however, that the job is pretty demoralizing because of all of the budget cuts, sequestration, etc. I also work quite hard - more than 40 hours a week for sure, totally maxed out credit and comp hours (which are capped), and work almost every weekend. I am considering a return to private sector employment at this point, which depresses me.[/quote]
