From what I've seen and experienced, you work a gov job for benefits and private sector for salary.

You hit it right on the head.

What Walton said. I’ve worked in government almost my entire career, just recently got hired in the private sector and my salary jumped 68%. Benefits are decent, but the salary makes up for it.

I currently work private sector but contracted for federal government. I make decent pay for the fact I'm new in the field but the benefits still suck. Looking to go full government for the benefits for my family.

Sorry wasn't fully awake but I see. Thanks for responding

Anyone else having trouble focusing today? Every time I have a long break and come back to the office I’m reminded how much I don’t like my current job. ID Associate and I have such a hard time concentrating even after a week off. I find it mind-numbing and unfulfilling. I’m never excited to come to work anymore for the past few months now. Just found out from a legal recruiter that I’m also way underpaid here. Hopeful I’ll get a job in a diff area of law or find another calling altogether.
