Can you give an example? For a GS-15 Making max salary, which is 164K. That is the base. It goes up quite a bit if you include 5% 401k match and retirement. So the total compensation is quite more than just 164K.

So what's total comp as a GS-15? At megacorp I was making a bit more than $164k, but total comp worked out to over $210k.

I've commented on the who's hiring thread about the US Digital Service's post. GS-15 base pay doesn't seem so bad, but drug testing, no relocation stipend (work from DC only), and no bonuses were all pretty big black marks.

I work at 18F. I have never been drug-tested. It's not a requirement for the job.
