[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s outdated, but it does feel like there’s a need to return to basics, focusing on the routine, often underpaid work that keeps the federal government running.[/quote]
Underpaid?

We were talking about salaries upthread. Here is an L5 at Mitre, one of their most prominent positions,

$191,200 - $239,000 - $286,800 Annual (from the link below)

Given, this L5 is in data science/AI which is their highest paid job family (not all L5s are created equal)

Low end of that spectrum is higher than the top end for a GS15. And Mitre tries to hire for the middle of the pay band.[/quote]

There are very few GS-15 positions in government that have that heavy technical requirements. And to the extent there are and they hire successfully, it's been through teams that have been able to offer impact, culture, and visibility to senior leadership in a way that contractors rarely can. People throw around "higher than GS-15s" as if you should be able to get any kind of talent for that amount of money, but technical hiring is an enormous problem for the government. [/quote]
