Hahahahaha, pp

Defn not necessarily 140 to 150.

Depends on your salary history, negotiating skills, and how much the politicals hiring you are willing to go to bat for you.

Could be anywhere from gs 13(90,000) to 150.

I believe that pp was assuming "political appointee" meant SES, in which case it's accurate.
