[quote=Anonymous]the PP here - don't want to hijack...but I purposely didn't want to emphasize it because, honestly, I was on maternity leave and interviewing and didn't want them to know I had a newborn. After I told them I wanted to see the total compensation before making any decision, the hiring agent said, "we are going to get you an offer before the end of the day" and then, when she called back to say it wasn't ready yet (the HR office was in another state), we were talking and I said that there's more to the job than money because I have a newborn, so I want to work closer to home, for a more family friendly company, all that.  And then, they withdrew the offer.  So it could have been that they didn't want someone with a newborn, or they didn't want to deal with the pay issue.  I don't know.

And yeah, they knew the GS levels because they were mostly former feds.  It's possible they didn't hear me. It's funny, though, in retrospect....I'm making more than their lobbyists are.  But it's probably the case that most of their lobbying is done by associations.  Still - I find that funny.

I'm still looking to leave the government and work closer to home, and that process was a learning experience!![/quote]
