Take the gov job. Even with RIF they are more secure than private sector.

I’d prefer not to share additional details since the market is quite small. I can only say the role is similar to the type of organization you mentioned. I am not from LA or SF.

Is this Texas for Teacher Retirement System (Austin)?
You don't have to give away any info but I have close friends in the industry. It is generally much better quality of life working at the state pension funds.

It's a little different for niche finance skill sets if you are at a state pension fund or similar.
