[quote=Anonymous]I am a PhD scientist, 20 years experience. I had been supporting the same organization for much of my career. There has been a recent push to reduce contractors, and bring the work in house. My position was advertised as the 13/14 level, even though I am currently paid comparable to a 15 (155K). I figured for the security and improved benefits, a high-step 14 would be ok, so I applied. I was offered the position as a 13 step 1, which I negotiated to 13 step 5. Still, 40 % less than I make now. So, I refused the offer. They ended up with someone hey are not happy with, and are still buying my time. [/quote]
