Never, bad idea

Negotiate to the max step of your grade and negotiate leave accrual too, then the cut may not be too bad considering the other benefits.

This. My understanding is they'll match pay through steps if possible.

Yes, if it meant better work life balance. Also, don’t discount the value of a government pension.

Yeah, it’s decent.

2.5%-11% base salary paid in every year depending on age and years with firm.

Guaranteed 5% return every year regardless of whether you leave or not.

Unless you’re extremely underpaid at your current job, you’ll always take a salary cut going to the IRS. But eluding to what TS1 said, they have a bunch of benefits including a GOOD pension and being able to take holidays and pto.

5 weeks verbal to TO, and then another 4 weeks TO to FO.

Yes, only for gov- pension, better benefits, union, and work life balance make up for it imo. Industry wouldn’t be worth it. I’ve got two apps in with the irs and one with state gov atm.

I recently received offers to go to industry for a ~30% raise and the IRS for a ~25% raise. I plan on accepting the IRS offer. I’d say it’s fairly uncommon to take a pay cut moving to industry.

Yes, if currently making millions as a partner and want to move to VP role in a smaller set up.

the work balance at the IRS is good however I’ve heard that their benefits and pension suck

Relative to what? From what I’ve seen their benefits are really good and the fact that you even get a pension is good...

For those who don’t know what this is, employers are only required to pay super on income up to around $230K (so $23K super max). Some companies may choose to pay above and beyond that.

Trying to work out the split between base and super on a contract. It is unclear in the documentation.
