[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, they can promote you after a year to GS 13. If they insist on hiring you at a 12 just ask about benefits, poss of promotion etc. I'm telling you if there is one other person on the cert you are not going to get that waiver. [/quote]

Thanks for the advice to you and the PP.

I am totally fine coming in at 12 and being promoted to 13. It's just the money between 12-1 and 12-10 is a huge difference.

A big concern I have now is that I looked at what people in the office make and some of them are still being paid very low. Not sure what the deal is, but I worry that what one of the earlier posters said is true, that they may not be willing to move me up the 12 scale because I would be making more than people who have been working there for awhile and graduated from law school earlier than me. It's either that (1) when they came in to the fed gov they just did not have any relevant experience that could move them up the 12 scale or (2) the office just really doesn't hire you up the 12 scale and brings everyone in at step 1. I hope it's the former.....[/quote]
