Not really a county job that I'm thinking about transitioning to, but close enough. I'm thinking of switching from my Federal job to a very large cali utility company. Pay is about the same but I'm switching from a full time office, every other Friday off schedule to a 3x a week work from home hybrid schedule. Commute distance will increase about 20 mins though. Pay ceiling with the utility company seems to be 190k vs 160k for feds and a faster salary progression. Also the utility co offers bonuses. I only have about 2.5 years with the Feds so my pension isn't worth much.

However, my current Fed job is pretty chill, but can get busy at times. I'm not micromanaged, and my boss lives in a different state so its not like he watches over my back. I do have to travel quarterly across the US for a week, which I don't like doing and won't have to do with the new job.

What do you guys think? Is it worth switching jobs?

Currently offered a job for a California university that I don't think will be too impacted by decreased college enrollments due to its name recognition. As title states, it would be a paycut but it's hybrid role and would require going in twice a month to the office/campus. In the current job, I work in a crusty fed office, but the people are chill. I also have to travel quarterly (which I do not like doing). I was told they would be doing renovations in the future, but we've been promised this before, and quite honestly the improvement it would have on my quality of life would be marginal, as it would still be 40 per week spent in an office. What do you think? Should I take the offer?

Currently fully in-office for a federal job and also requires quarterly travel for one week (which I do not like doing). The office environment sucks, but the people are chill. I was told they would be doing renovations in the future, but we've been promised this before. The hybrid role would be for a very well-known university and would require going in twice a month to the office/campus. I'm leaning towards the hybrid role, personally. What do you think?
