I need some career advice: State Gov Job vs Private Sector Law Firm? What would you choose?
Hi everyone,
I need some advice from strangers on the internet.
I've posted this question across a few other subs, but I think you guys will have some of the best insight for me. I want to note this is not a Help Desk job. Its more system admin work.
I was in the search for a new job and got some amazing offers and I have been trying to decide. I just need some insight, thoughts, or whatever anyone can provide that might help me make a decision. Everyone I know is leaning toward the higher paying job but I need some more insight.
I have two offers in front of me.
One from a large law firm that is offering me a position paying 130k a year, decent benefits, yearly bonus, and a good 401k match. Also 4 weeks of PTO.
The second for a government job at a local hospital. I am not sure of what the pay will be yet as I am waiting on the official offer letter but I was told it will be between 110k to 120k.
What I know is the government job is offering 4 weeks of PTO, a pension, and of course amazing benefits.
The law firm is also remote with the requirement of coming into the office once or twice a year.
The government job is hybrid for the first few weeks and then remote until needed in the office.
What are everyone's thoughts? What job would you take?
