I know people who like it. $100k+ career professionals can easily plan ahead to take advantage of it, and it's almost like clockwork these days. CS is not like the military, not a pyramid, the majority are in the middle/higher grades. Even most of the TSA is in the mid-range.
I guess Trump has been making scary noises about eliminating the backpay, so that might be nerve-wracking. Although I'm nearly certain it could not be retro-active.
