#i am apparently tentatively eligible for a grade of 15 for data science. which is . so beyond wrong #from what i remember when i was applying to fed jobs. 15 is like... phd. lmfao?#i didnt even get referred to the hiring manager for fed jobs that paid 40k/year in dc. like you are joking calling me qualified for this #the LOWEST grade i was referred for here. has a base salary of 117k/year #like i have a pretty high estimate of my worth.#i got an offer for 80k/year from a private company and that aligns w my expectations for what *companies* in bigger cities should pay me #but 117k/year is . not a salary i should be getting paid right out of undergrad for a *government job*!!#something has to be going wrong on the backend like ???? you're joking...
