Depending on your experience your, the agency/branch your pay will vary...Most GS 14 or 15 positions (or their equals in the pay band) require senior management level experience. Most of the 14 / 15 jobs involve considerable policy work, management of people/assets, providing IT direction to an organization...Sometimes (SOF community being a good example) will have position at this level where a very specific skill set / background is needed and in order to attract they have to pay at a higher salary that the GS 9 - 12 rate.


I'll put more down later...
