I think it will depend.
Some employers consider a 4x 10 full time, others 5 x 9. You need to know what this particular employer is looking for, and adjust accordingly. It may mean a break even.
What you're making for a relatively small team seems reasonable. You may find to get your foot in private sector, you need to take a loss short term, in order to build your skill set, gain other experience,and make more long term.
