[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really like mine, but I'm non supervisory 15 equivalent for a financial agency. [/quote]

As far as I know, only the SEC hands those out with any regularity, and even then it's not a given. Congratulations on your golden egg. Your luck has served you well. [/quote]

Wrong. All the financial regulators have non supervisory positions that pay at least as well as GS-15. Most of the banking agencies pay better than the SEC.

And the DOJ has tons of nonsupervisory GS15s. [/quote]

DCUM is OBSESSED with financial regulators. Brass ring. Pretty hard to snag. [/quote]

I work at one and I'm in the field. However, they all have admin-like or support services that pay the same - HR, budget analyst, HR, admins, management analyst, IT support, security etc. and those might be easier to get. [/quote]

I’m the previous poster that wrote that I am in IT at one. I just got the job and started at the end of January, but I had been applying since 2017, and this job was the first one for which I was even referred past HR. I still don’t know how I got in. That said, agencies tend to treat support personnel like 2nd class, except IT and Contracts and Budget and HR are so highly desirable with Federal experience that they’re the easiest to move around….particularly IT, which has a lot of private sector competition, and Contracts, which is easily hired out to a Contractor position (being yelled at by Staff for 10 years doesn’t make many people want to stick with it, either).[/quote]
