[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It comes down to four major benefits: - pension - health care after retirement - flexibility - job security Only you can evaluate relative benefits of each. For most people, these are tremendious plus but may not for you. [/quote] I became a civilian after working 2 years as a contractor for my agency. Now I have 8 years of government work under my belt. I saw civilian employees leaving government for better private sector jobs. Also, don't assume that Fed jobs are secure; we had one employee fired after being with government 10+ years ( who really didn't deserve to be fired). Pensions these days are not that great either, they take money from your paycheck to fund them; it might be worth it, if you stay with government for a long time. Flexibility- well, in my agency, it's very hard to move from one place to another. I all depends on your specialty. [/quote]
