I work for the state. I help my buddy get on board, they offered him a position. He is torn with the decision to come on board because of the pay and benefits. Your thoughts?
His private industry job: Good pay, usual benefits (med, dental, vision), 401K company match, company car (chevy malibu) includes gas card and insurance, work out of his home, stressful, works approx. 9-10 days mon-fri, 9 days paid holidays
State job: approx. $10K less than his current job, has to commute to office (1hr each way), desk job, low stress, good state pension, med, dental, vision, mon-fri, 14 days paid holidays
My buddy is age 40 with a wife (works part time) and a teenage daughter
