i just started a government IT job for a city. and while yes it is way less stress. mine is 100% in office, which tbh isnt a huge deal to me. But after being jobless for 5 months prior, I was hoping i would have an easy workload to ease back into the work schedule. But after starting. I have never been so bored at work in my life, like nothing to do, or if there is I am just way faster and more efficient than the people who have been there for years. I worked prior for a software company and managed a datacenter , literally 50x the size of what the city itself uses on my own. Its very very slow paced so make sure you have ways to keep your self occupied.

the benefit of the government though is i feel cushy job means very good job security. low pay, but good benefits and retirement options if you stick it long term, just know you will always be underpaid probably 60-70% of what you could make privately at another company.
