Well don’t they cover your expenses? So does little pay really matter?

I did the opposite. It’s a great career but you need to go into it with eyes wide open.

A few primary issues for me: 1) lifestyle - it is amazing for a few years, but moving every 2-3 years limits you and your family’s ability to set roots anywhere, plus once you have a family it’s very difficult to have a 2-career household; 2) I worked at a couple government agencies in my early career, and the procedural BS is nauseating at State (it is the oldest federal department after all, so they’ve had a long time to lay red tape down); 3) the day to day work is not as interesting as you’d like to believe, although, depending on your path (consular, economic, political), it has varying degrees of peaks. There are others, but things you should keep in mind as you evaluate

I took the test 4-5 years ago but didn’t make it too far in the process as a whole and didnt try again

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
