I’ve been referred for two federal positions - one GS13 and GS14. What are the next steps? Do I just wait until a recruiter potentially reaches out?

Yes. You always wait for them to contact you.

How long could it take?

Lol

Depends how bad the hiring manager wants to bring someone onboard. Our folks usually take care of business in a few weeks. I've been contacted my folks months later. So yeah...it depends. If you know the hiring manager though, you should be golden.

It depends on the hiring manager. Took me 4 weeks to get my GS13-2210 after the interview

Month after the opening was closed. A lot depends on how many applications the board has to review. My job was specialized so many did not make the cut

Over the last three years my mfg company has had a lot of people leave and each time I take on the extra responsibility - from admin, payroll, benefits, compliance, safety, inventory and shipping. I literally do it all. And not only that, but I’ve eliminated and optimized a lot of wasteful processes in order to get it all done. I thought that it would all come with eventual pay increases since it saves the company over 300k in overhead. This whole time I should have been OE. I feel like a fool.

4 YOE in Federal consulting. Currently a C at $85K and just received a 5/5 performance review with super positive feedback from my team and leadership. Noted that I was the top performer and was doing stuff at a senior level.

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!
