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.
