[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am a GS-14 at another agency. The number they came up with for him was more than double BOTH our salaries. But, he turned it down. Quality of life. So, just lowballing the estimated salaries here, if you each make ~$100K (below GS 14-1), the private employer offered him more than double the both of them, so he was offered more than $400K, and he declined? [/quote] Yes. He declined. I actually LIKE my job and my family, and no amount of money would make me satisfied with staying home and living as a single mom 50% of the time. We had a family so we could raise them together, not so I could do it by myself while my husband travels. Husband agreed - he tried to negotiate with them for less travel - see if he could get it down to 25% travel, but that just wasn't possible. [/quote] Similar situation here, turned down for same reason.[/quote]
