[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-  I was an administrative manager in a GS job that moved to the SEC.  I took a grade cut but got a substantial raise.  I now make $ 50K more than my spouse who is a GS15/step10.  That is before the other SEC only benefits.  200 people applied for my position and they interviewed over 10 people.  These are very desirable positions.  I am very grateful [/quote]

And this is the problem with most finregs. Finregs get outsize pay for the complexity of the work done by those on the line (ie attorneys, economists, etc). Yet everyone gets the outsize pay, including those that have completely fungible jobs across the government, like admins. They should be on a separate, lower pay scale. It may be an unpopular opinion, but it's the truth. [/quote]

people with lower-skilled fungible jobs have positions at lower grades; the payscale doesn't matter. You sound like someone who has applied for many finreg jobs and didn't make the cut. In contrast, the PP you responded to sounds like a competent, humble colleague who likely contributes significantly to her agency.
