More like a 20-30% pay cut. You trade it for the only semblance of stability that exists for such jobs. We are used to getting chucked on the street every few years. Once you get into a gov job you are in until you leave.
- orbisvicis 2y agoThere's a difference between contractor and actual government, in terms of stability and pay.
- vorpalhex 2y agoAnecdata but one coworker was making about 30% of what I do for similar work and they are similarly skilled. They are now within 10% of me having gone private. And you are right in that you will never be fired.. and that is equally true for your worst colleagues, horrible managers and so on.
