Now got an opportunity to switch to an iron rice bowl (you know, garmen job). suppose to be very stable, but will incur like 15% pay-cut. The pay will still be comfortable and I can enjoy more time with my young kids. Now dilemma whether take or not. Exit options will be close to zero if join public sector, but shall be no problem work till 60 or even beyond.

suggestions?
No brainer to switch to govt job. 15% pay cut out of 200k is 30k and you won't feel it. You can still lead a good life standard with 170k. Most importantly you now have more time with your kids and more time to spend your 170k.
