#13Why does usajobs.gov have an autoplaying sound?? I opened this link during a meeting by accident.
To literally broadcast to the world that they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.

#14That pay scale seems insulting
Govt jobs do a CoL adjustment based on the region located, which would put this kind of role at market rate base salary for adjacent positions in the DMV and Bay.

#15I wonder how much it costs to have the government declare your model to be too good to be allowed.

#17That pay scale seems insulting
Government pay often is. The pay scales are capped, with a few exceptions and ways around things, so unless this job goes up to an SES or similar grade that $197k is the best they can do.
https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries... - All pay scales
https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries... - DC area, so base + locality.
Note that at the top the GS-15 steps 6-10 all get the same pay. The linked position's listed pay range spans GS-13 through GS-15, which is actually a huge spread and kind of funny. That's a large spread in responsibility between GS-13 and GS-15. In civil service, as a manager a GS-13 might be responsible for on the order of 50-100 people and millions in contracts and equipment, a GS-15 might be responsible for thousands of people and billions in contracts and equipment (location does matter a bit, the folks in DC, because the cost of living is so much higher, usually end up with some grade inflation so drop them 1-2 grades to compare to the rest of the US).

#18"This job announcement has closed", that was fast.
A lot of times they create job posting for someone they already want to fill a certain role.
