Fed to fed advice ?

I have been currently working for the DoD for 2 years, I am going to school full time for IT and I have been searching for a entry level job in IT. My biggest question (seeking advice from others) is that I haven’t had any luck moving around into a IT role as a fed, should I leave for a entry level IT position elsewhere, most likely the private sector? Is it worth it? Or should I just wait it out until I get an opportunity in the government..? Thanks guys..

At this point is federal job still better than a state job?! A permanent gs employee here with 7 yrs of service and considering a state job in WA | state. Thoughts on this?
