Mathematically, sure. But good luck explaining to a farmer in Iowa why you're paying a 28-year old $250k/yr to "do computers" for the VA. And that's ignoring the legal hurdles to paying some government employees $250k/yr and continuing to pay everyone else around them the same garbage GS wages.
- madamelic 5y agoAren't there already people not on GS anyway? From researching, it seems like other areas have already figured out how to do this: NSA and "some parts of the Navy" are both called out as using non-GS pay scales. I don't see why they can't have like "Advanced Science" wage table, to compete for the best engineers and scientists rather than hiring either bottom of barrel or end of career people. I make much more right now with 8 YoE than my boss in the gov't did and he had a PhD with 20 YoE.
