I was hired in at a crap salary but believed BAH was a great company (which so far it is) so I took it.
Basically, my 4 years in the military was ignored so I wil be asking for an out of cycle review.
I wanted to get some thoughts from people about how the increase ranges differ. I'm a very rational personal and realistically, I'm a good 20-25% underpaid for my skill set.
Can I get an increase mid cycle, and then get the standard one year raise? Is 5-7% still customary. I belive BAH cronically underpays people so I want to cover some ground. To think they seldom offer cost of living increases, or increases to cover inflation, seems unfortunate. I see the partnership bringing in loads of money, yet us minions are underpaid.
Before you say "that's how it wil always be." Note that an Anteon employee with less experience and no clearance makes more than me. Now Anteon may not be as good a company as BAH but I would be a fool to pass up $60k or so from them if I don't even make $45k now.
Can anyone rationalize a L1 w/ a clearance, 4 yrs military, a degree from a good school, and working on an MBA, only coming in at about $43k/yr? Didn't think so... |

hey archercollins, sorry to hear a/b your experiences so far...definitely not something enticing. With the SOL in the metro DC area, pay is a realistic concern for me.
out of curiousity though, what makes you say BAH is a great company? I've heard different stuff (as people always will) but wanted to get another opinion. Thanks!
