Former GS and contractor here - what pathway are you applying under? The trick is to be able to apply under one of the preferences that will give you an advantage i.e military spouse, displaced federal employee, veteran. Otherwise, you have to apply for a position that’s open to the public and you are at the very bottom of that pool. It doesn’t matter how qualified you are if the next person is just as qualified AND has a preference above yours. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is

Hi thanks for the reply, I am applying for GS5 for regulatory assistant at the army corps of engineers in Los Angeles

I’m on my third fed agency. The first two were part of DoD and i dont really care for it. If you have been in private sector a long time it may be a shocking change to see how feds handle things in comparison.

uplifting

Thank you I appreciate it

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him. Three days later recruiter wants to give me a call and “give an update”. Schedules it after 2 days. This morning cancels last minute as they are having “internal discussions”. I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

Hey everyone,
I just moved to the Indianapolis area and was hoping you could help identify what the salary market was here. I have my BS in mechanical engineering, MS in engineering management, and an MBA.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
