I came from 3 years in the DOD to now 2 years in the FAA. I have made H band, and now I'm waiting for 1 year till I'm eligible for I. From talking to everyone I meet, the only way to make more money as an ATSS is to move up to an I band, or get an in and pay raise. As H's We are technically GS 12 equivalents, but in the beginning dont get paid as such.
My question is, in your opinion based on working for the DOD and the FAA, which do you feel is better?
5 people i know, myself included, coming from GS and WG in DOD think that the FAA is hands down way better in terms of quality of life, less bureaucracy, and union backing amongst other things.
Sometimes DOD has flashy overseas jobs which are GS-11 with housing and cola, but I worry that I will regret jumping the FAA ship and taking orders again.
