I am in the DC area

Hello, I am contemplating moving from federal service to the private sector. From the people I have talked to it seems that you really either like the federal side or you like the industry side. There doesn't seem to be too much middle ground. I was wondering what people on here thought about working in the private sector? I have been getting a lot of interest from private industry people and I am wondering what the salaries are like out there so I don't sell myself short. I have 8 years DOD 1102 experience, Level III certified and a GS13. I also have my Masters in Public Administration. Anyone have any thoughts on what an average salary would be? Thanks for you thoughts on this. I have searched Google for hours and have not been able to find anything on an average industry salary.
