PhD isn't a field. I have a PhD too and my govie job pays more than most jobs IN MY FIELD.
The filed I work in requires a PhD for entry level (GS 13) and pays 50% less than what our contractors make. Is that better?

The paycut/matching current salary/negotiations are agency/dept/office specific. Seriously very YMMV...I've seen one office match a retiring military officer's ''salary" and I've seen another office completely stonewall at Step 1. Depends upon the HR and culture of the organization.

Approx. 15k (5k salary and 10k annual bonus).
