I have worked in the private sector my hole working life as “that’s where the money is” and in my experience that was true, I took my salary from 65k base to 130k in two years with a pivot and a couple company hops. However. I decided to move into government and although I drop to 108k I go to 37.5 hours a week instead of 50+ and I get 4 weeks holidays plus the government shutdown between Xmas and new years paid. It really is disappointing I didn’t see this value earlier.
