It seems like Government Contractor roles tend to have great WLB but usually weaker TC, considering how slow the Fed moves. What are your guys' thoughts?

The mileage may vary. Pick your company and project wisely.
Things that make federal work not worth:
- Pay not good
- Long drives to the shitty parts of towns to work on Military bases.
- No remote work (depends on contract)
- working in a windowless building w/o a cell phone.
- having to walk very far to my car to check my cell phone.
- long queues for clearance processing
He had a lot of the flexibility that I have, but like someone else said, there was a timesheet he had to fill out every week. They had "unlimited PTO" but you still had to put it in the timesheet. And they had a pandemic leave meant for caretakers, but started giving him crap last fall about using it, as if the pandemic was over during the delta spike! Every time our son had a minor cold he had to stay home from daycare.
His pay was also barely in the range for the HCOL we live in, since they were hiring folks all over the country. I made significantly more than him. That's not a guarantee of every gov contractor though.
