You can't negotiate a higher starting step based on your current salary anymore, but you can ask for your experience to be credited for a higher starting step than step 1. YMMV.

It was changed this year

Along with higher retirement contribution requirement (iirc 10x more than before), it doesn’t look very attractive, deep cut to cross the fence unless you are ready for retirement phase.

Not really a deep cut for me considering I’m at 121

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
