[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me, quality of life has value. I’d take the job where I think I’d be happier. [/quote]

I agree, but I wonder if OP really knows what office dynamics are like at the 12. They paint the 12 as a respected key contributor. If never seen a 12 with much autonomy or who gets a strong voice in the room. My experience is that both of those start at 13 and by 14 you really get a voice [/quote]

This really depends where you are. In my agency, program leads with PhDs or significant experience are 12s, and they make a lot of the day to day decisions. 13s do as well but tend to have an unfortunate combination of individual contributor duties plus supervision of staff. 14 is where you're basically a staff and funds manager all the time and not doing IC work at all. So it really depends what autonomy and voice mean to you - in my experience the work is fundamentally different. [/quote]

OP here. This is basically the 12 role, re: significant experience. As for the 14 role, if I hypothetically get it, the person could make my life (more) miserable/push me out so then I'd end up without a 14, etc. My supervisor said that this person may be intimidated by my credentials and I have no idea why. I try to be nice, but this person just...isn't.[/quote]

If the other person is also a 14 and you don't work for them, pay for therapy and take the money and run.[/quote]
