DOJ attorneys: If you started your DOJ career as a GS-15, how many years of experience did you have when you joined? Some DOJ postings indicate a minimum years requirement of four for GS-15, but how realistic is it to join DOJ as a GS-15 with just that minimum—especially if you’ve never worked in government? Thanks!

While accepting offer in Wipro my friend directly clicked accept and submitted after reading all the pages. But didn't fill the signature and date column in all sheet since text was not enabled. At bottom of every page in offer letter it shows as signed by user name ,user email address & date when she signed. Could anyone please confirm if this is fine or not ? Do we need to fill signature and date also above because she couldn't do anything now. Is this offer letter valid now?

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be?
