What are the opportunities for promotions and pay increases?
As they gain more experience, Special Agents can qualify for promotion to a variety of managerial and executive positions. Special Agents enter as GS 10 employees on the law enforcement government pay scale and can advance to the GS 13 grade level in field, non-supervisory assignments. Promotions to supervisory, management, and executive positions are available in grades GS 14 and GS 15 as well as in the FBI Senior Executive Service. For more information on the government pay scale, please visit the Office of Personnel Management’s “Salaries and Wages” web page.
