[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do 14s come up in your field often so that you could have reasonable assurance you could do a lateral move at some point if dealing with the coworker gets to be too much? Or are they rare. I think I'd take the 14 as long as you wouldn't be stuck for years waiting for someone to retire to be able to move on. But then again, even if 14s are rare, as a 14 then you could qualify for a 13 step 10 more easily somewhere else. [/quote]

14s are decently available roles. I won't be waiting a decade--just a couple of years, a few at most. I know, on paper, it makes sense to take the 14. But this person truly is awful to work with (treats feds and contractors horribly, and nobody seems to care--which concerns me).[/quote]

If you take the 12, you are no longer eligible to apply for 14 roles [/quote]

This. You will have to apply at a 13 and be that for a year before you become eligible for a 14. [/quote]

This isn’t universally true. I just jumped from a 12-10 to 14 based on work history before entering government. We don’t know what OP’s backstory is.

OP, take the 14.[/quote]
