Have any of you kicked the tires on a position using the DCIPS pay scales? Have you found any flexibility in the bands?

I left a Fed position 4 years ago at the tail end of Band 3. I wouldn’t mind taking a paycut to go back to something similar within the same band but am wondering how likely I could negotiate the top end of a band.

Interested in this too.
Also, curious about your perspective, OP: as a consultant at BCG, do you think you'll potentially be doing work beneath your performance level/capabilities at band 3, pay issues aside? I always thought the SES briefings, management skills, high stakes implementation/recommendations lent themselves to at least a journeyman's level (GS13 or band 4 I think) if not higher.

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…
