I've been offered an SEC job. I'm pretty content with my current firm and making over 100k more than I would if I were to take up the SEC role. Are the benefits and retirement worth that cut?

Two points/questions:

1. Can I ask when you applied/interviewed? I’ve been looking to move to SEC for a minute but my understanding is they’ve halted hiring this cycle because of budget issues.

2. My .02 cents is that it really depends on your financial responsibilities. Mortgage? Kids? I assume you’d be making in that 150-200k all in range assuming you’d be like an SK-14 which is still very good money given the lifestyle and potential benefits (pension). I’d take it in a heartbeat if your financials allow. Plus, depending on the role there’s a good chance you can leverage it back to private practice if the money gets too tight.

Hey team! I've been thinking about what success would mean in terms of this platform and general inclusion in the team. These are some of my thoughts:

3. Some measure outside the app of team engagement in day to day interactions (changes in psychological safety)

What are your thoughts?
