[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the current economy, I'd say you were lucky to even get an offer. My agency is only hiring scientists/engineers, no other positions, and those are only at GS12/13 salaries due to the government spending cuts. To me, you seem naive to even be considering negotiating your salary. It's like you're not aware of the current environment for Feds.[/quote] I don't think OP is naive at all. She has a job offer in hand. The worst that could happen is that the feds could come back and say, sorry, unfortunately due to budget constraints, we can't give you a higher starting salary. It would be naive (and a very common mistake that women, in particular, make) to NOT negotiate for the best salary to start off with. This is your best time to give yourself a salary boost, other than receiving a competing job offer that one would take.[/quote]
