Yes, agreed. Govt tech jobs I got into late stage interviews via a special talent initiative: - GS 7/9, would not budge, even with my existing pay stubs that I provided. - FBI specifically was the offer to move to Huntsville AL, while I lived in a coastal tech center. They built a new facility there for logical govt reasons, illogical for tech recruiting though. - An askance look/nasty attitude from the initiative when I was laid it out - I make $120k in my first Eng job, can you get anywhere close to that/not $60k/yr for a job in DC? If not I have to drop this scholarship/w-e they called it. I did, and got a job in private sector a month later at $150k and remote. They’re killing their talent base. Totally absurd. And I’m a candidate that would take a pay cut for a compelling govt job.
