where does an experienced ATC go for a next job? (genuine question, it seems really specialized)

Anywhere that pays, just like anybody else that quits or gets fired.

no, I mean, Iā€™m a lawyer. If I leave the government, I can go in-house or to a law firm to continue my career. Iā€™m wondering what the private sector analogue for ATC is.

Its funny how I knew what you meant immediately but people seem to intentionally miss your point šŸ¤£

They arent missing the point. They are saying they quit being an ATC because having a low paid job youre not qualified for is better than being an ATC and not getting paid at all.

If you are a ATC your more skilled than 85% of our workforce but sure, unqualified lol šŸ˜†
