San Jose PD is a scary example of a Mayor and other city management destroying what was known to be a great place to work (I don't and never have worked there, but know several who do). When I started in the business, SJPD was the place to be (at least from the perspective that was around me). Sadly, it's not looked at that way anymore, not the officers, but the city and its leadership team)
Another Reader: You're right, I don't get my employer contributions on my CALPERS and 1937 act retirement plans that I'm part of if I were to withdraw them. The annuity amount I came up with was roughly 1.2 million on a 30 year payout.
Initially when I make the switch, I'm leaning on leaving everything as is, and if things start to unfold in the Pension arena, I may rollover the funds depending on whats going on. I think though, I will rollover my 457(b) into the TSP once I start with feds.
Thanks
