Then start looking for remotely sited AFS-900 HQ opportunities, which are GS-14. One of my buddies is a DSI with them, he teleworks 100% unless on travel/TDY. Moving expenses are on "your dime" unless the vacancy announcement (job posting) specifies "PCS" which is a paid move.
Did I screw myself out of GS-11/12 if I put GS-9 on my app?
