what is roughly the salary or start of a previous GS-15 or PM of a large program?
I think it depends a lot on connections and your potential to bring in future work, to be honest. I don't want to out myself, but I work with someone very well-connected in a niche scope of work my company was interested in and I assume (based on my salary) that this person makes high 200s-low 300s. Super nice person, incredibly knowledgeable and well worth the money. But I'm just guessing.
Does he have an engineering advanced degree or an SME in another tech field?
Neither. Not really tech.
