You don't go there for the money, nobody does. You work hard for a few years,make connections, get experience and jump ship to private sector that'll compensate for all those years of underpayment.
- ewidar 7y ago... so do you do go there for the money eventually?
- cosmodisk 7y agoSomeone in my family is a prime example of this: got a degree in pharmacy, joined an actual pharmacy for a bit, then ended up working for an equivalent of FDA in the US. Worked there to gain experience,then went to work for a pharma giant. They hired her mainly because of her experience in the government's agency. Have been working in private sector ever since making pretty decent living.
- TheColorYellow 7y agoThis makes no sense to me. The clear answer is that is unfair for our system to pay critical employees so poorly. The federal sector can't compete with the private sector on value fulfillment - and that is a major problem, not a feature.
