[quote=Anonymous]I’m a DC government attorney and I’m guessing there is such a wide range because the position is being advertised across an entire grade. Generally they do not offer above the midpoint of the grade unless you have experience and qualifications that justify going beyond the midpoint. Making 95k with only say 5 years of experience is not going to be enough in government to justify you coming in at the top of a pay grade. Vacation can usually be negotiated commensurate with your experience, meaning if you have 5 years of relevant experience you can start at 6 hours of leave per pay period instead of 4. I’ve never seen someone get 8 hours per pay period as a way to make up a pay differential. It takes 15 years to get to 8 hrs per pay period so they don’t go handing that out to new employees unless they come in with a significant number of years of experience. [/quote]
