Re: Haha said by bmn:
*heh* I don't know about the tax exempt status, but working in IT for the government pays very well when you include all the benefits (vacation, pension, insurance, etc). I did it a year or two ago and was disappointed when the project ended because I knew I had to go back to the private sector.
i would take a job w/big brother as long as the pay didnt suck...
they pay techs like if they were working at a McDonalds in the agencies around here...
the only decent government agency down here is the county... they at least pay somewhat decent... and they do have nice benfits... which is always a plus i suppose

| I work for a government subcontract. I have nice benfits and they pay me well considering the area I live in (New Orleans is not well known for their "technology"). 
However, like badmagicnumber said once your project is up, if they don't find you a new one, you're gone. Or worse yet, the government decides to renew the contract with another company. 9 times out of 10 you'll be assimilated into that new company, but what if you liked the old one better?
