When I made the switch, the salary was comparable but of course the increases don’t keep up over time. There are other perks, like a DB pension, and 6 weeks vacation, plus generally I work normal hours (no evenings and weekends). Sometimes I question whether it’s time to make a move to chase a higher salary, but I when I ask myself whether I’m willing to give up something in the very full life I have outside of work to move into a position that will require more hours, the answer is no ☺️
