Unsure of how it works with the feds, but with my state job,,,, The base salary is just that. Then at hire they evaluate you and based on how much you exceed the basic job posting requirements, you get bumps of 2-5% depending on what area (education vs experience) up to a total or 20% over base
So... when I applied for a Java dev position that required a HS diploma and 2 years experience or a 2 year degree... with a 4 year degree and 20 years of Java experience and 35 years of programming experience plus systems skills... My extra degree level was worth 5%, each year of experience beyond minimum in posting was 2% and at that point we all just started laughing 'cause I had already exceeded max bumps.
