Does anyone have a list of "official" job grades

[darthsidious]

My boss told me that my entry level position was E-3(in terms of title it is Design Engineer), and that I could expect to be promoted to E-4 in 3 years with good performance. However, I haven't the faintest clue what this "E-3/E-4" means. According to my boss, this is some sort of standard code to indicate your job grade. I tried googling for it, but failed. Does anyone have an explanation/ Link for these?

At my work, and E1 is entry level engineer, with a promotion to E2 in a few years with good performance. E3 is considered a senior engineer. I know of a few other large companies who do it the same way.

They may be using the military pay tables.

I think I'm a Z-3 pay grade.

Ditto here. If you come in with a Master's Degree, you'll start out as an E2.

E-4 reporting in. The pay still sucks but at least you get to delegate to the lower ranking sailors.

I got E3 right out of boot because I was going into nuke school. Score!

these are two different unrelated things

enlisted military grades and engineering grades

the OP is talking about civilian engineering grades , not military enlisted grades
