[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for all the meaningful feedback.  I'll let you all know in a couple weeks how it goes.  Regarding taking a paycut, I may still do it if it's very close to my current salary, but even that is doubtful, understanding that including the benefits would boost the SEC total package.  The reason is, going back to my original post, I don't dislike my current job.  In fact, I quite enjoy it and the people I work with.  The SEC position just seemed interesting and would provide additional experience/brand.  Whether I stay at my current agency as a GS-15 or go to the SEC as an SK-14, I don't plan on staying in government for the long-term so I'm not really sold on the fact that the pay band for SK-14 tops out way higher than the GS-15 pay band.  Given that, as another poster already mentioned, I would enjoy better total annual raises in the GS-15 pay band (COLA + step increase which I've gotten every year either through time in grade or QSI), I would almost certainly fall farther behind in the short-term if I were to take the pay cut to join the SEC.  The advantage of the higher upper limit for the SK-14 pay band would only matter if I stay in government long enough such that I top out at GS-15 and continue staying there.[/quote]
