If you actually calculate your pay per amount of work and I mean just taking the official time - 37 hours /week and vacations, you'll actually get to similar numbers as your private sector colleagues. So the basic question is not whether you'd accept a lower pay, but whether you'd accept working less. Then you can add as bonuses the increased flexibility and less stress... Is there a difference in job stability between private and public jobs?
- moksly 6y agoWe have yearly budget cuts, so far I’ve not been involved and I likely won’t be, but it’s a yearly stress factor for everyone as the political level and the administration CEO later spends months figuring out how to cut. Our private sector is still relatively booming for developers, so there is always jobs openings. People tend to shop around more in the private sector though.

- moksly 6y agoHe’s not completely off though. I have friends in the private sector who work more than the 37 hours because the culture is like that, because they enjoy it, because it speeds their career or a combination. It’s gotten less and less as we age, but still, some of them have pushed some really long weeks in their younger years.
- msh 6y agoSure, I see that happening both in public and private sector among the people I know. On the other hand my fulltime contract pr the union agreement in the private sector is 36 hours (and 5 child sick days).
