Plenty of people move from USDS to permanent civil service roles, but they do need to plan for it and apply. Your time in USDS counts towards government retirement benefits, but you can't stay in that particular position for longer than 4 years.

Ah, the language on the descriptions back when I was looking at it made it seem like you had to leave when it was up, and didn't make it look like transferring was a possibility (wouldn't you take a big cut, moving somewhere else, or do you keep your USDS GS rating?).

Everyone I saw moving to other government roles were going to equivalent or higher ratings. I'm actually not sure what the rules are if you were to go from a GS-15 position to something lower.
