[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this site proves that there is no waste and fraud. You’re 47 years old and making less than $100k with an Ivy degree? Sounds like you’re volunteering your expertise to me. [/quote]

Who knew that all Feds had Ivy League degrees![/quote]

Actually, many, many Feds do.[/quote]

I have an Ivy League PhD and it took me until age 38 to hit 100k. And I'm above average pay and below average age for my agency, according to this website.

Am I overpaid? Doesn't feel like it. I definitely make substantially less than every single one of my grad school friends in the private sector, so your definition of "overpaid" would have to be  "but it's taxpayer $!" with no relation to the actual numbers. Which seems like how some people are moving the goalposts. [/quote]

You’re probably underpaid compared to your private sector colleagues. However, the federal government tends to pay more for work that would not pay well in the private sector. For example, the person who sorts mail in my office is a GS-12 and earns more than $100k.  The federal government also employs GS-14 attorneys who basically do doc review and copy and paste boilerplate language into three decision templates a week. These attorneys wouldn’t even earn $50k a year in the private sector. But, in the federal government, they earn around $150k.[/quote]
