[quote=Anonymous][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]

I recently moved from a GS position to a finreg, and I have noticed a jump in the capability of admin-type people (HR, IT, office managers). Paying more draws better candidates.[/quote]

Doesn't change the fact that the function in and of itself is over compensated at the finregs.

Finregs pay more because the line staff must compete against the population they regulate. And frequently have job offers from the same. Those positions in private attract top talent, and pay multiples of what a finreg offers.  Admin positions at finregs are overcompensated relative to their peers in private. Sorry, but that's incontrovertible. [/quote]
