If I’m being offered step 1 in my GS level but they told me to “pick another number within my GS scale” for negotiations … should I just shoot my shot and go for step 10?

Why not? It's not like they'll rescind the offer

FYI, https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2024/01/federal-salaries-wont-be-tied-private-sector-pay-histories-opm/393700/?fbclid=IwY2xjawExr_dleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHS7b4tGr0EQsU7zWQ-AyP3JiJr8lEiqft4Kbls4BrzfqH4S3a7OkjpRnzw_aem_P3OftUm3Oqk4STZ5FZeiCA

I did see that :( other sources indicated that it might still be considered but I’m going to focus primarily on superior qualifications during negotiations.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Basic Rules especially if ya have kids!

I’m curious to know what happen. Did you ask for step 10? Did they give you the step you wanted?

I was asked to send in additional documentation to support superior qualifications. So they didn’t say no ….
