Current federal workers are being give a 1% salary increase in January 2015. I'm curious what types of changes in salary non-federal workers experienced this year.
Full disclosure: I'm a fed since 2010, since finishing my Ph.D. I'm happy to have some increase but mildly frustrated that my salary isn't keeping up with inflation. |

Private sector here. Big Four accounting.
No raise in four years, despite top ratings. I'm "outside the band" which is something they seem to tell a lot of people in my cohort. |

It's on the OPM website. Just enough to cover the hike in insurance premiums. |

| No. I am making less than I did before the recession. I was laid off. I make less than I would in the federsl government. Am at a small nonprofit. Went to a top school in my field. |

Also my insurance premiums went up so I'm making even less. Am obviously looking for a new job.
Wages are stagnant though. |

Yup. Just treading water as a fed. Never seem to really bring home much more money than the year before. |

| No pay increase this year, and a 10% cut last year. The 1% increase sounds nice! |

| Law firm- "raise" was a couple of shares; roughly 10%. |

| Fed since 2009. I've gone up 3 steps since then, so despite the pay freeze, I'm up a bit. Inflation and health care have taken a bite, of course. |

| I got 6.5% increase at our agency in 2014 and will get a similar increase in 2015. |

I'm in health policy, was working for an association and got a 3 percent raise plus small ($3k) bonus last year. I left for another company in the spring and got a nice salary hike - went from 95k to 115k. Not sure what raises or bonuses are like at the new place.
I'm lucky, I've always gotten a minimum of 3 percent raises, and in promotion years, significantly more. I think the government is in for a serious brain drain if they keep this pay freeze up. |

Feds are overpaid. They should get a paycut.
More of my taxes paying for their excess. |
