I'm sure this comes as no surprise to all of you, but Jen's just achieved another milestone in her career. She found out on Friday that she has been promoted from FS-03 to FS-02, marking the second time in a row that she has been promoted the very first time she was eligible. This follows of course her award for Excellence in Labor Diplomacy and Superior Honor Award, not to mention getting assigned to a (no longer) stretch position as senior political officer in Santiago...
Just for reference, she tells me that about 25% of her orientation class is now at the same pay grade as she is, which means that of course she has a bunch of awesome friends also!
Anyway, we're both feeling very pleased about this, and a bump in pay and vote of confidence from her employer could really not come at a better time than now. And she fully expects that she will remain at this level until, oh, 2015 or so, with a few step increases along the way.
