Yes, it also does sound like you would be at Masters +30. As long as the other graduate credits were not part the Masters you are using for qualifying for the Masters salary lane, they should work for Masters +30.

HelpOthers If the HQ experience was in the education field, yes, those two years should be credited on top of the maximum, so starting step 13 (step 11+2).

Make sure all your transcripts are uploaded and that you confirm your pay before signing that official document.

If you are hired DoDEA USA-Territories, they will likely place you at MA...See More
