| If you have a PhD and 6 years experience, how much do you make? I know the vacation/sick leave is 13 days. |

Go to USAJobs and find jobs that fit what you are looking for. They should list the GS level. Then head to the GSA website and find the salary range.
My guess is GS-13 -- based on my own job searching several years ago -- so ~$90k at step 1. |

That sounds about right to me. |

| Navy labs are pay-banded and PhDs are hired at high 11/12 in maybe mid-80s and then you'd be promoted within 2 years go 12/13 band with a 6-12% raise, but with the current situation expect that to be more like 6% unless things change drastically. I don't know if NRL is the same as NAVSEA |

| Wait, no, you're experienced....then you're in 12/13 so the others are more on target. |

| My DH is at ARL. Around 100K. They are on a DB? scale so he is equivalent to GS13. |
