Agreed. Might be able to negotiate a starting grade change or step difference (in GS), but that’s about it. I’ve heard of some people also getting years of credit toward leave changes.
Yeah that’s a great point… if they decline your request for a step/grade increase from their initial offer, you can also propose that they bump you to a higher leave accrual level per pay period. If you have less than 3 years of federal service you accrue 4 hours of annual leave per pay period; 3-15 years of service you earn 6 hours; over 15 yrs you earn 8 hours.
Probably not a whole lot, but entering fed service is your only chance to try (once you’re a fed there are non-negotiable rules governing your comp increases even if you move to another fed employer).
Honestly not sure what the rules are when moving from one federal pay scale to another. I was presuming the original question implicated the GS scale but that was shortsighted.
