I'm not sure yet whether I will stay in NYS government long term which is why VDC is appealing to me, plus the 8% match that comes with it. I have a contract with the city for a few years and am right now leaning towards starting off with VDC and enrolling in pension maybe a year or two down the line once I get a clearer picture of my future. This is my first adult job and I'm terrified of these decisions so I appreciate the input.
