Do you have the GS-11 and GS-12 Federal level experience?  That's got to be a small pool of applicants, doesn't it?

That's not a lot of money if you have to live in DC!

And they don't pay to move you there....
Like RadSav said.  For DC you will be living in squalor.

That is base salary.   You also get a location add on.  A GS 11 here in this area because it is the Seattle area gets paid more then a GS 11 not near a big metro area.  Say northern Minnesota.

You must have 1 year experience at the GS-10 level or GS-11 level.  Pay is 63722.00 for GS-11 step one for that area and 76378 for a GS-12 step one.  PCS costs are not authorized so it is a DYI move.  You also must meet the KSA's for the job.  Sounds like a great job though!

Indeed. It would be both a step DOWN in pay and a step UP in cost of living. Plus my kids currently go to a FREE charter school that is nationally ranked. I currently work more hours than I would have to at that job, but with commuting I'd be out of the house more hours per week as D.C. has grown hand over fist under God-King Obama. It would essentially be a selfish move--lowering my familys standard of living just so I can enjoy work more. We as husbands and fathers must sacrifice ourselves for our family. This is the agape love. Watch me sacrifice  :bash:  :bash:  :bash:

The government can take the fun out of anything, Bear Counter.  I'd imagine Photography wouldn't be immune.

LOL, true that, sir! I spend $5,000 moving my family there, and they be like: "Well Bean, little did you know your job will be to sit in a desk and 'Photoshop' statues of King Obama into landscapes of all the national parks."

:puke:

KSAs? I be like: "Look, the job is photographing national parks. So here's my resume..."

Can't argue that. IMHO there shouldn't even be a NPS, nor a USFWS, nor a USFS. Why can't the states manage it? If its not inherently delegated to the federal government by the Constitution, why does it even exist?

novel concept, huh?  :rolleyes:
