As I recall, they tend to start the senior folks at grade 15. They have to get approval for starting at any step above step 1, and I don't know how often that approval is granted.
They are very open about all this during the process.
That's right. There's no set grade or step for engineers, but most of our senior engineers start at a 15. Your grade and step (and therefore your pay) are determined by previous experience and previous pay.
What should a junior-level Dev out of DC make? Say they currently make 80k. Solid OOP, modern web framework usage, solid JS. Pay raise/cut/stay the same?
This depends on a lot of things. 18f is government so expect lower. Feel free to email me if its a bridge you end up crossing (I'm a lifetime DC native)
The government should be making services that work with every kind of device, out of the box.
Given the kind of services the government is likely to build, a website is way, way more cost effective. And Googleable!
Plus, accessibility requirements mandate services that can be read by the blind, hearing impaired, etc, all of which is possible with the web and much harder with native mobile.
