Yeah but their actual work is like 2 hours a day, if even. My brother left A1 at PwC to go DoD took a pay cut and is at 50k MCOL. All he does is play games with his laptop open on the side and goes into the office once a week.

California and DOD auditor

Maybe it’s unique to that agency, but I’ve seen a 2 yoe in a B4 SALT group get an offer at IRS for GS11 mid step and got around 90kish.

Are you browsing like GS5-7 jobs, could you apply to a higher grade?

It is possible, the recruiter said maybe GS 9 but even then it is 69k. It was really discouraging

What do you expect like its a government job... On the bright side the w/l balance should be great although work itself is going to be boring

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
