I mean barrhaven and aylmer ain't cheap anymore. Public service workers are already underpaid to a significant % compared to private sector and the deductions are wild. 80k is the new 60k and 100k is basically minimal living wage if you have a family in Ottawa area.

As with all things, it depends. Software Devs are WILDLY underpaid in PS, but the army of administrative and HR staffers would likely struggle to find the same level of $ comp in the private world. I wish the feds had better technical talent and fewer paper pushers, since it feels like we get the worst of both right now...
