[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will the topped-out 15s please stop whining? We are well paid for public sector work, period. If you really think you would do so much better elsewhere, please go. 170k a year is a very nice salary. We do get a pension, social security, and access to one of the lowest-fee, well-managed 401ks out there. Inflation may hit us a bit, but at this salary, you have cushions. I’m a single parent who has no access to child support, and we are just fine. And no, I don’t live in the exurbs or eat ramen to survive, either. [/quote]

It’s 172,500, not 170,000.  And pay compression is a real problem.  Those who have made it to the top of the GS ladder deserve meaningful raises too.[/quote]

Some of those at the top levels are managing huge programs that would be paying double or triple in the private sector equivalent. With inflation it really does have an impact. [/quote]

Then transition to private.  Nothing is stopping you.  Go get that 340-510k job.  [/quote]

That’s a really specific salary range! [/quote]

? That’s double at triple 170k. Rounded down from 172,500.

Maybe don’t look for a private finance position.[/quote]

Excellent math. I clap you. [/quote]

The point is that you can’t just go out at easily get a job at 250+ just because you were a GS-15, let alone over 500k. Your private sector equivalent is nowhere near that.  If it were, GS-15s would be jumping ship left and right. [/quote]
