[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insufficient information— how old is *he* and GS14 *what*.

If he’s a 30 y/o GS14 it’s very different than a 40 y/o GS14. Bear in mind the GS14-15 jump is a trap— going into the 15 without your 5-7 year plan for leaving government in place means accepting wage stagnation.

If you don’t know this much about government salaries by 32, living in the DC area, it may be better for you to just continue to date industry. [/quote]

OP here. He’s 36, and has no interest in ever moving to private practice. It just strikes me as a red flag - not wanting to live up to his full potential.

FWIW I’m in big law and have dated in that realm, or higher income men. [/quote]

Good luck riding out Big Law as a female. Yea, you might make partner but nowadays that likely doesn’t mean you make more money and you have ZERO job security. And good luck if you want kids or any life outside of your job. I’m a GS 15, and my TSP just hit $1 million. My DH and I have loved the balance my stable, GS govt job brought us. If you weren’t so myopic and judgmental, you’d get that. But I suspect you are either a troll or a shallow human. That GS 14 is better off without you. [/quote]
