What is your background? Do you have a particular development area or industry that you are interested in (web development, scientific computing, etc)? Government agencies (NASA, DOE, etc) and related industries (aerospace, defense, healthcare, etc) work on some very interesting and unique problems. But these jobs are generally more limiting (think legacy languages), often come with their own sets of cultural overhead (sometimes the antithesis of agile), and will likely pay less than what you are used to (if coming from SV). The trade-offs are tricky.
