One part is true: I am relatively young. But I have very rarely met government employees my age. If I had to guess, standard would be 35, but have met plenty of folks who are 50+ working in government (something I don’t see in the startup scene at all). Most of them are likely underpaid; however, to be fair, that’s often made up in health benefits and likely somewhat in retirement benefits. And while I don’t doubt there are lazy government employees, the presumption that they outnumber or even match the private sector in this regard rings as false.
