You’re responsible for so much, get sh#t on by senior management and principals, and the pay bump is negligible (they would make only $10-15K more than their most senior non-sup staff).

It’s the difference between “leaving your job at work” (non-sup senior staff) and “bringing your work home with you” (first line manager).

Wait- how is there a pay bump for supervisors?

Can’t you still capitalize on a non supervisory 15 and make a ton in the private sector?

Definitely, but having that management experience helps

That management experience doesn't mean anything because it has no creativity.

who wants to take a supervisory 15 if they have a 14. LOL

No-one wants all that headache for $10K extra/year, much less after taxes.

But what about a non supervisory 15? That is better than a 14

yeah, there are a few available. Honestly, I would rather take a 14 and the job I like rather than an administrative non-supervisory 15.
