Does the pay max out at GS-15 like USDS?
- Aeolun 6y agoHuh, that kind of salary makes it kind of hard to compete...
- aviator-39 6y agoNot by a long shot. Its better than anything but the top companies. Total salary includes locality pay, which for DC is $142K and for SF is $154K. There are also a bunch of benefits, not least of which is the federal pension. If you worked for the feds for 20 years you would draw a $30k a year pension.
- Aeolun 6y agoThat’s in addition to the default max of $140K? If so, then yes, it would actually be really good. Because it’d suck to start out at the max and then never increase any more. I’m not sure if I’d count a $30k/year pension good, but the fact that you can get it after 20 years is pretty cool.
- wikibob 6y agoIt’s not in addition. DC is $142,000 total after the CoL adjustment
- mfamos 6y agoYes it does! But, it's hard to put a dollar amount on the impact and feels you get doing public service. The benefits are great and the locality pay is something to consider as well.
