[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cant say I understand the move.  No two employees are exactly alike and I’d argue external experience is *more* valuable than fed experience in many cases.

If this is a cost saving exercise, congrats. You saved very little over 30 years. Maybe stop spending so much on blowing up brown people in foreign lands.[/quote]

They aren't say external *experience* isn't taken into consideration.  They're saying *salary* is
So if you've been underpaid historically at your corporate job, despite having a ton of experience and doing a fantastic job, then it won't hurt you when being hired by the fed.
And if you've been overpaid at your corporate job, you aren't going to get an automatic boost because of it when becoming a fed.[/quote]

I don’t understand this. Why would the government choose to tie their hands in this way? Would it be better to give themselves more flexibility, and [b]say that they can consider experience to negotiate salary up[/b], instead of prohibiting themselves from using a private sector salary at all?

They CAN use experience to negotiate salary up.  They CAN'T use salary to negotiate salary up.

Salary does not equal experience.[/quote]
