Does working in tech have benefits? Sure. That's why so many people are hungry to get into the field by any means possible. Are there drawbacks? Of course and these are things I rarely see mentioned because the "techies have it so well" is just too good of a narrative. Some examples: no pensions (haha, but the article mentioned it, so why not?), no unions, no overtime, some get stuck with 24/7 on-call rotations, constant need to self-improve or get laid by the wayside, average job security. I can go on. Personally I would call government employees privileged. High job security and if you just "do your time", you get set with a sweet pension!
