[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's context dependent. Assuming we can cover our bills my initial reaction is "whatever that line of work pays in the government at a GS-14/15-equivalent level" because I think that's a reasonable work/life balance job with decent benefits. But the discussion changes if that means the other spouse is trapped in a high-stress job because the first won't work more/aim higher, or if the spouse who wants to have a more leisurely job does the lion's share of kid/house work, or any medical or mental diagnoses are at play, etc.[/quote] My husband actually transitioned from a much higher stress and better paying private sector job to a federal GS14 job and we are much happier! He teleworks most days and is able to do school pickup/dropoff and things around the house, has time to work out and eat healthier, etc. I work in medicine so my hours are worse but I love it and make a good salary.[/quote]
