Database - hijacked to gov't salary discussion

[Sijray21]

for GSA, they based our salaries (and GS level) almost completely on our GPA, anything below a 3.0 was a 5 and above was a 7, and i figured it was pretty standard across the agencies - and im deff. looking forward to moving thorugh these first few levels

Not around here. The Govt is putting people at whatever level/step they need to get the same salery they would get at a private company. So people straight out of college are getting GS 8's midish steps.

i got offered the same deal as REED, but instead of 3.0 they told me 3.5

i'd love to work for the government, the pay was the only thing making me hesistate. If i could start at a GS-7 or 8 i'd be satisfied.
