[quote=Anonymous]In a civil service lab, BS Engineering with 3.0 or higher GPA gets GS-7. Government can salary match within GS-7 range to a commercial sector offer. Same but less than 3.0 GPA starts as a GS-5 - still can salary match up to a step 10. Masters in Engineering starts at GS-11. PhD in Engineering starts at GS-12. Can salary match up to step 10. Also has student loan forgiveness program and can stack relocation costs (PCS) and a hiring bonus on top. For specific "shortage category" engineering specialties (example AeroE, EE) engineers are paid as if they were 3 steps above their actual step. I would be very surprised if commercial sector paid less than civil service. So think of this as a likely floor on starting salaries. [/quote]
