[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 15-10, you get an annual pay raise if that becomes law (base; not the locality component) and a cash bonus if your agency gives out bonuses.  Other than that ... it’s pretty much just people  gossiping about when you’ll be leaving so they can compete for your 15.[/quote]

This is it.  Was wondering if I would get a raise at all this year despite a top rating.

I have never given my salary much of a thought before but am finding this situation depressing. And our expenses increase each year more than the bands move so its like a pay cut.[/quote]

Absent a qsi, there are long waits to get within grade increases.  I suppose that, as very seems likely to happen, a Democratic president and Democratic Congress will give feds a meaningful pat raise for 2022.  But a maxed out 15 will always only get the base component of such a raise.  That’s been 1.4 or 1.0 percent in recent times.  It might be 2.6 for 2020, but that’s all still a mystery and nobody knows.  So basically, yes, you have to decide whether to give up the federal job or take a risk in the private sector. [/quote]
