55K to 80K - no title change, switched agencies

80K to 115K - no title change, switched agencies and moved to a higher cost of living city

Then 115K to 150K with a title bump.

The raises exist but you have to jump agencies, unless you’re indispensable and beloved and then they’ll find the money.

I’ve seen people get promotions instead of pay rises to keep them happy. It does not always work out well, because sometimes the extra money may have been warranted but the title bump was not.

I just had the initial call with HR. I was told that Senior Analysts start at 56k and Business Operations Specialists start at 67k. I was told the next step was Junior Manager but they rarely started anyone at that level. I'm shocked. Is that accurate or are they trying to lower my expectations? I have an MBA and an MHA and 20 years military experience.
