I would be very interested in doing this. Unfortunately I just checked their pay scales and... well, they’re pretty bad. Which to be honest surprises me because I’ve followed some of what USDS/18F do and they have talented folks.
- pimlottc 9y agoThe pay is definitely below Bay Area standards, though it's quite good for government. Ultimately though the main draw is not the pay, it's the chance to use your tech skills to make a truly meaningful real-world impact on a large scale.

- alistairSH 9y agoWhile I can easily find the GS scales, do any of you know how typical USDS or 18f positions map to the GS? Would a senior developer be a GS10 or GS15? GS15 would be competitive with DC software salaries (all benefits included). GS10, not so much.
- alistairSH 9y agoAnswered my own question (sort of)... similar positions listed on USAJobs were GS-13, or in a few cases listed with a salary of $70-$90k or so.
