How does your job security and pension compare?

  I work in private industry (cybersec) and we have a pension + 401k w match. It's great. I dont think I would ever work for the state or federal gov. Their pay sucks.

    Both!? That's unusual, congrats. My point is that the straight pay comparison to a gov employee doesn't count as people go there for the safety and pension. Pensions can really add up the total amount and the spouse collects money as well after the pensioner passes on. To compare to a private job, the actual pay a public employee made per hour of work cannot be known until after the pensioner and spouse are deceased.
