You can work from wherever you are, and you can change locations while working for 18F. But we don't provide money for relocation.
Another note that the federal pay scale is determined in part by your location. More details here https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/2016/general-schedule/ https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries...
- warfangle 11y agoWhen you change locations, your pay rate is also changed, correct?

- andrefrancisco 11y agoCorrect.
- mooreds 11y agoBut note that they can make exceptions to the pay scale (at least, move you around under the overall cap).
- jotux 11y agoWhat's the working level grade for engineers?
- andrefrancisco 11y agoThere isn't a set grade level for engineers, but most of our staff starts at a GS 14 or 15.
- _007_ 11y agoWhat about for entry-level candidates?
- wei000 11y agothat sounds bad, different location different pay
- microcolonel 11y agoFor example, the absolute maximum they pay anyone in SF is 160k. What "grade" would candidates for "Software Developer" have? What determines the "step" ?
- mooreds 11y agoAs I recall, they tend to start the senior folks at grade 15. They have to get approval for starting at any step above step 1, and I don't know how often that approval is granted. They are very open about all this during the process.
- andrefrancisco 11y agoThat's right. There's no set grade or step for engineers, but most of our senior engineers start at a 15. Your grade and step (and therefore your pay) are determined by previous experience and previous pay.
