And they took it!? Is the work/life balance in fed really worth the $60k differential?

@OP good luck.... but I had an experienced hire colleague who was leaving the firm, D countered to bring up to peer level at year end....didn't even come close; 10k under promise

There is no work life balance in federal. Oftentimes your contract only allows you to bill 40 hours a week. You have to perpetually write proposals that always lose on price in this LPTA environment we are in. You lose most nights and many weekends to RFIs and RFPs. You get promoted much later. You get paid less. There are no dinners or client dinners. The margins are low AF. Sometimes projects are straight up not profitable. Nothing makes up for the pay difference.

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money.
