[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the implication on DCUM that most feds are topped-out 15s. That is the realm of a few niche career paths like law or upper administration. The vast majority of us will spend our entire careers at the worker bee level of GS 9-12. Maybe 13 if we go into management. Barely cracking six figures after decades of service is a real hardship in the DC area.[/quote] Yep, I'm a scientist and a GS-12, after I had to start at a GS-11. That's barely enough to make it in this area. Luckily I'm married. I could look at private sector, but for now I think federal government is better at work-life balance. It still feels like I'm being taken advantage of. [/quote]
