I do not. My next gig is a dream job, and I’ll be at 35 years when I complete that assignment. Time to transition to more leisurely activities at that point. ?Brett do you have eyes on the War College president chair?
Losing a great dude to retirement from that position. It's highly unlikely they pick his replacement from outside the schoolhouse, but they have to offer it.Once in a lifetime job opening. I think this position comes up once every few decades.
The Base COs that are selected for flag go into the Region/CNIC Flag billets it looks like. CNRSW, CNRSE, and CNIC (former CNRSW) are all former Base COs.Point to a Post-Major-Command Ashore Captain that made Admiral….i think those are unicorns. Not gonna say it will never happen, but the odds are extremely low.

Low? The average Think Tank pay for a good internationalist is $60K, the average pay for a full professor non-STEM Ph.D. averages $99K…don’t be puttin’ on airs.
I’m def not trolling…He’s just trolling… as his trusty sidekick would opine.
So? This is a GS position. You can’t compare it to private sector pay.I’m non stem faculty in a university think tank and am at 120k benefits. and I’m very junior and don’t hold a PhD.
99k maybe for a brand new fresh PhD grad.
Our Department Faculty Chairs are well over 250k.
if that position is similar to a faculty chair- pay seems low.
Apply anyway. You never know what will happen.I considered throwing my hat in the ring but I don't have the requisite course design chops.
Thanks for the career advice? As @IKE said they'll take someone who has recent and relevant experience with the school house first.Apply anyway. You never know what will happen.
I understand that. I was a prior GS-13.So? This is a GS position. You can’t compare it to private sector pay.
I would not say "exempt" - but rather significantly deviated from standard GS scales - depending on the skills and expertise required of the role. Yes. Pilot GS jobs are a great example of this.I understand that. I was a prior GS-13.
I more or less mean it seems like an academic position and the pay for it isn’t competitive with other academic positions.
Isn’t there a way for certain federal jobs to be exempt from the pay process of GS scales?
I think your quoted $250K for a university is towards the far end of the spectrum. A quick Google tells me the median income is lower. Also TPS is a small and very unique schoolhouse. If you note the posting doesn't require a PhD but it does require some very specific background in flight test. Basically, equating it directly salary wise with a university chair isn't honest.I understand that. I was a prior GS-13.

First off, this isn’t a GS job, it’s NM pay band 5, which is probably equivalent to GS 14-15. That’s why the salary range is so wide. Pay banded civilian systems generally (not always) have more pay-for-performance and bonuses built into the structure.I understand that. I was a prior GS-13.
