I think these are 2 different things. When we say a PS job is an iron rice bowl, what we meant was that even in times of recession, chances of being retrenched is very low. Your example of being managed out applies to both private and public sector. There are no openings out there which can offer you a salary while doing a bad job.
So to the original poster who is offered 2900, do look at 2 things:
1) overall package. Usually PS will have an avg of 15mths annually; and
2) Stable increment of around 3% avg annually.

I would like to know, from $2,900 to $4,100, take how many years to match my current salary? Please advise. Thanks

im in c.s.
32 yrs old. been in min for 4+ yrs.
6k+ per month gross.
1st class hon w masters from ivy league. non-scholar.
Agree that ur fren is likely to have overstated his salary. either that or included his bonus into the calc.
I guess whether u shld jump depends on why.
if money, dun bother, cos the skills aren't so transferable.
if work-life balance, its aint exactly 9-5 in c.s. i typically go home at 7. but half the time, I have to log on from home and during the weekends...

Hence, you may get a pay cut if you consider monthly salary. However, annual compensation can be the same as civil service pay better bonuses depending on economy, than SMEs.

interesting... My bonus for the past 2 years was $24k consecutively... which amounts to about 4.5 months and 4.2 months respectively for 2010 and 2011. Civil service able to top this? All I know about civil service is they seem to be paying out lots of bonuses throughout the year instead of a 1 time payout at the end of the financial year.
