For almost 20 years I've been working in IT as a DoD contractor. My current contract was just renewed last month for a five year term, so my job isn't going anywhere.
Today I was quietly notified that there will be some GS positions opening up in the facility (postings go in next week), and I was "encouraged" to apply for one of them. The openings are for GS-12 positions w/ DC locality pay. For those of you who have worked both as contractors and directly for the government, which did you prefer? What are the upsides/downsides of each? The GS-12 salary would be less than I'm making now, but depending on how the other benefits (like health insurance) work out, the net paychecks would be comparable. |
