Judging by the vast amount of JAs recently apparently not.

Kids, wife is a stay at home mom, live and based in Chicago. Is the 78 guarantee and 77/hr accurate?

Thanks


I sat reserve pretty much my whole first year here (bad timing as the hiring stopped pretty soon after I was hired). In that year, without picking up anything extra, 115-120 was pretty standard for me with a high month of 136 tfp thrown in there. I'd have to pull up my old W2 but I'm pretty sure I was around 90k including per diem not to include PS or 401K contributions and that was with the old rates. Making over 100k your first year here should be pretty easy with the new pay rates. YMMV
