Is it a pay cut to go from agency to in-house, or is it actually a pay raise? I’ve been hearing a multitude of different responses, but all from people who have worked in agency life for the last 10 years straight, so they keep telling me that their answers might be outdated.

Pay raise for sure. Depending on the place, they will offer good benefits like stocks, wellness package, discounts, etc.

Raise. I got a salary that was more than I’d asked for ($21k more!), stocks, and get a yearly bonus.

65% increase in salary during my first jump in-house (including bonus). Probably varies from place to place but if you see the right opportunity pounce on it!

Applying to roles within the same federal agency. I know you need one year within the probationary period, but can I apply to a higher GS level?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
