At the time, I heard the private sector salary matching was a bit of voodoo magic that was fair to some and not fair to others because they tried to determine in some way if your current job is like the IMS job. If it's too different then they didn't salary match for steps. At least that's what I recall hearing about it and it could be drastically different now.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159152801252981101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557465214499246773.post-4483497556898579332022-02-24T23:23:39.052-05:002022-02-24T23:23:39.052-05:00I know it has been some years since you posted thi...I know it has been some years since you posted this, and the policy itself has likely changed, but do you recall how your existing salary was judged to determine your step in grade upon entry?
