Josh Lyman posted:That's not true. GS caps at $170,800; in SF which has the highest locality, you hit that at 14-10 and 15-5 and higher, but at SEC the cap is $253,300. Gotta compete with the banking industry from which they come and to which they'll return for even more pay after serving at SEC... There are a few hiring authorities out there that allow more pay than Congress. EPA and HHS have title 42 appointments I think that agencies that hire a lot of bankers and lawyers are generally given more leeway on pay bands.

The annoying part that I've run into is that if you filter on department it makes filtering by agency useless. At least that's what happened to me the last time I used both ways of filtering.

It'll probably take a while though since usually there are hiring freezes initially. But I suspect the freeze won't be nearly as long as the one in 2017.

Sometimes you can get credit from your other jobs to get into the higher leave categories earlier, but that's about all I've heard of in terms of negotiation. You might be able to start with a balance too, but I've never heard of anyone get that. And I think the OPM guidance is actually 3 years to move from the 4h to 6h categories. https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/leave-administration/fact-sheets/annual-leave/

I think 15s are all FLSA exempt, so there's no such thing as overtime - usually when you're that far up you get comp time (if you're lucky) I could be wrong though. Also, like half of the steps in the 15 grade for DC are capped at the pay limit. Alucard fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Jun 18, 2021 |

Seamonster posted:No, there is a specific Executive Schedule. Congress as a completely separate branch of gov't has no relation to it other than legislating changes thereto. My bad - you will notice the close correspondence between EX-IV pay and typical congressional pay (174k-ish) as well as the top band (220k) being pretty close to the highest member of Congress (207k). Since they legislate it, they're disinclined to increase pay unless they also increase their own, since every branch thinks it's the most important.

If you are generally healthy, go in for routine stuff primarily, and locations are convenient Kaiser's HMO is decent. The two knocks are out of network stuff and some states don't have Kaiser facilities. The dental coverage is dogshit though so you are probably best served adding a Benefeds option.

Gin_Rummy posted:So at risk of sounding like a busy body, and also unsure of if this is a good thread to post this in, but… On the one hand, that's definitely something that would be a big red flag for a clearance since it's absolutely something someone could hold over your head, and real dumb to try and do on the sly. On the other, maybe the wife and kids know about it and are cool with it, so it wouldn't be an issue even if it came up? I'm a goody two shoes so I'd probably report it anonymously, especially if you give a poo poo about the security of the information you handle.

My impression is that it won't help you get past the initial screen, but it could help get eyes from a hiring manager if it's well written and actually relevant to the posting. If it's not much of a hassle, I'd say just go for it anyway.

20 years will generally get you around 22% pension with FERS-FRAE, which is what you'd get into if you start now or later. The 20-year mark is when it converts from 1% per year to 1.1% per year. The other two components of retirement are Social Security and your TSP, which is basically a 401k equivalent that you can get up to 5% of your annual salary matched in employer contributions. The 62 date is generally best overall, since it's another prerequisite to get that 1.1% per year: https://www.opm.gov/retirement-services/fers-information/

Hackan Slash posted:It looks like you're looking at CSRS info, which you wouldn't be in since you had to be in before like 1986. As was mentioned, the new plan is FERS, with the 1.0/1.1 annuity, the Thrift Savings Plan (401k equivalent), and Social Security. Just remember that it's not about when you leave service, but when you activate your benefits. You can "retire from" (i.e. leave) federal service at 50 and start your retirement benefits at 62 with no penalties.

Most people starting jobs in the private sector these days get 401ks and a match at best. Most pension programs were gutted entirely years ago, the federal government still has one but it's more anemic now. The best part is that pensions and social security are both basically ponzi schemes, so contribute to your own retirement account - I will be pleasantly surprised if my pension and social security are solvent by the time I retire, but I ain't relying on it.

You'll likely get an email stating your status soon. Direct hires process faster because I think HR just clears everyone who self-certifies on the questionnaire regardless of the resume. You may also want to check if it says it cuts off at 50 candidates or on the day that 50 candidates are exceeded.

Sounds like it's in order of application and if none of those meet the hiring manager needs they'll go to further eligibles. I feel like not making the qualified and eligible list for a direct hire is pretty rare though. My impression is as long as you know how to fill out the questionnaire, you'll certify.

Leviathan Song posted:they were violating the opm two step promotion rules, which is borderline illegal. OPM posted:The two-step promotion rule states that a GS employee promoted to a position in a higher grade is entitled to basic pay at the lowest rate of the higher grade that exceeds his or her existing rate of basic pay by not less than two step increases of the grade from which promoted. They interpret the entitled to basic pay at the lowest rate as the maximum terminology but the not less than part would indicate you can go more than two steps, just not less. The "exceeds" covers that the rate has to be higher so the not less than appears to modify the step count. Alucard fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Aug 2, 2022 |

Depending on the type of clearance there can be a "suitability" determination that can go quickly and can allow you to conduct the work while they're still pursuing the full background check. But if you fail the check afterwards I think some bad poo poo happens unless you can be put into a role that lets you do work not requiring the clearance.
