[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GS15 starts at about 164k and hits about 192k. The most experienced gov lawyers, at least in my agency, are at GS15 (although some never are). I think I got my 15 around year 5.[/quote] I find it really bizarre that lawyers are GS 15 so quickly. Why is this? It seems arbitrary when others in different professions that could be making a lot of money in areas outside of government do not.[/quote] This is very agency specific. For agencies whose employees can more easily move to the private sector, lawyers (and others, like economists) are made GS-15 as soon as possible, which can be as little as a few years after starting. In other agencies, there's much less reason to do so, and it can be rare for non-supervisory employees to ever get to GS-15 (or even GS-14).[/quote]
