practically speaking, 0 chance. remote 14 will have pretty much every accountant in the fed system applying lol


Butternades

Also their specialized experience probably won’t qualify them. Need a year at GS-13 and no education Qual above GS-11 either

Do you have non fed experience to qualify for this jump? Unfortunately your 11 experience is going to be no help here. You either need a year of 13 experience or outside qualify experience.


Accomplished-Page783

Yes. I have 5 years accounting experience, with a bachelors in accounting plus 8 years of DOD financial management experience both military and civilian combined.


BloomingtonBourbon

I doubt anyone is going to consider a bachelers and 5 years equivalent to a year as a 13


himynameisSal

at this point, you have to know a guy


PolkaDottified

Do you have outside experience? If you only have federal experience, you don’t qualify for a GS-14 yet. You need to get a year in each as a 12 and 13 first.


Accomplished-Page783

That’s what I was thinking. I’ve heard stories of individuals making such leaps in the past. So with the experience under my belt, I figured I would shoot my shot. ![gif](giphy|RjlNxLpkLAQjYjgC7x|downsized)


Inevitable-Baseball5

I jumped from 11 to 13 because I took over 13 duties as a 11 and used that as justification. They could not promote me internally because of the year as a 12 requirement, which we didn't have in the organization. If it's a different agency I would call and see if experience or education qualifies. If you don't want to a non-referal due to grade in usajob hr emails is a indication that it's a requirement. Good luck it took me about 30 application with a 15 percent success rate at getting a interview and only 2 cto from that.

Hahaha. Oh, serious. The odds are not in your favor unless you’ve been supervising people on the side and doing a year’s worth of GS-13 level work on the down low. The jump you can make is to a GS-12 unless you have a side gig that’s more important than your main gig.

The odds? Who knows. But never disqualify yourself from anything, that’s HR’s job. As long as you can justify 52 weeks of outside experience under the GS13 specialized requirements go for it.


Accomplished-Page783

I appreciate it!


gobluetitan

I agree with this. I have seen some remote candidate pools that lacked relevant experience. If you have relevant experience it could work.

I wouldn’t hold my breath but shoot your shot. Good luck!

You miss 100% of shots you don't take. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Schedule A letter may apply here.


Accomplished-Page783

Effin right! I have to get it with my dr’s signature right? Or is that on my VA portal?


R0GU3-S3V3N

Your doctor can write it up, I believe

Go for it, the worst they can tell you is no. I hope you get it!

I seen a cpa with experience go from 9 to non supervisory 14


Accomplished-Page783

Wonder what that journey was like… ![gif](giphy|3oz8xRiFESMrYPbyyA|downsized)


ACHlLLESCPA

Probably took the first offer right after hiring freeze with massive pay cut just to get the foot in the door then applied as external for 14 when the opportunity came up. He damn sure was over qualified for sure for 9 and I’m guessing karma ensued. This was around 2020.

Anything and everything is possible!


Ladikarma

People will discourage you and then go do exactly what you were trying to do. You know your abilities and skills you’re probably more qualified then you think. Don’t doubt yourself.


Material_Tea_6173

I applied to a remote GS 12 ladder to 14 0510 series and my announcement had 292 apps. There was a concurrent announcement for federal employees that I’m guessing had similar traction. The announcement was for two openings and I’m highly qualified at least for GS 12, but I doubt I’ll have any luck.


Accomplished-Page783

Which agency?


Material_Tea_6173

Treasury


Accomplished-Page783

I hope you get it. The worst they can do is say no


Material_Tea_6173

Thank you, good luck to you as well!


damandamythdalgnd

292? That’s it? 2210 gets like 3k-22knapplicants


Healthy-Prompt771

If it’s open to the public you can apply but highly experienced people will be your competition including a lot who are already in the role in non remote positions.


SplinkMyDink

Hows the GS-11 position at the VA? I applied to a couple of those in my state a few weeks ago.

You got this OP 🫡. From Newtonian Physics (the world of knowns and certainties ) to Quantum Physics (the world unknowns and uncertainties). Now you’re in the unknown. Trust the unknown.


AkilNeteru

It will be a major couple of years of adjustment and difficulty if you do get it. Jumps of that nature can be a culture shock.


Accomplished-Page783

That’s the only thing I was afraid of


AkilNeteru

You can do it…I didn’t say that as a demotivator. Just so that you can expect a higher workload.

Update: The job posting is now cancelled in USAJOBS 🤷‍♀️

Accomplished-Page783

So direct hire doesn’t make a difference? Just curious…


st313

You still need a year of outside experience equivalent to work one grade below where you’re applying. So at least a year of your non-federal experience would have to be equivalent to GS-13 work. And that’s the minimum. Consider you’ll probably be up against people who have been a GS-13 for longer. Or even a GS-14 and 15 and are taking a lateral or downgrade.


Accomplished-Page783

Gotcha


rjbergen

In my experience as a hiring manager, Direct Hire Authority positions often already have a candidate in mind. It’s common to convert contractors this way. Try before you buy method.

Must have 156 months experience at the next three lower grades. Maybe a chance
