I heard about an interview with the NLRB's honors program recently. Anyone have advice on interviewing with the NLRB honors program?

Twiddling my thumbs. I hope HUD gives us something before the new year.

Can anyone fill me in on how pay raises work in the non-DOJ honors programs? I know that the DOJ is very clear on their website about how long it takes to go from GS-12 to GS-13 to GS-14. Do other agencies follow the same timeline more or less? Or do most go slower? Thinking of DOL specifically, but I imagine this is relevant for everyone.

Most agencies promote you to the next grade after one year in grade. So, for example, after one year as a GS-12, you can be promoted to GS-13.

In theory, you can be promoted all the way to GS-15 that way. But, some offices don't have GS-15 allocations for everyone. Meaning, you could be at an office where GS-13 is the highest you can go.

Your supervisor has a lot of control on your promotion. So unless you're in a career ladder position (where your promotions are specified), if your supervisor doesn't want to promote you to the next level after 12 months in grade, they technically could.

I work for the gov in an InfoSec role. The positions most of us are in range up to 15, but effectively they cap each team to having 2 people @ 15 (the team I am on has a little over a dozen people, 2 are 15s everyone else is @14). The more senior of the two has suggested he will retire in ~5 years. It seems unlikely that anyone on this team will be getting a promotion in the near future.

Was it an actual offer or just inquiring about your interest in the event of a subsequent offer?

Unfortunately, I don't have any additional information to share. And unclear. Our conversation was extremely brief, given a miscommunication about my acceptance of employment elsewhere and subsequent withdrawal of my application from consideration.
