It’s not just about the money.

I’ve worked for product companies and was forced to interact with government clients.

Bureaucracy, bureaucracy, bureaucracy. No risk taking, no point in standing out, promotions based on time in service. You could offer me quadruple my salary to go and work for the government and I still wouldn’t take the job.

Just supporting the government clients on a part time basis made me want to quit my job just to get away from the government clients.
