IE Specialist/FT Supervisor - "On Topic"

I'm a PT Supervisor in Operations looking to make a move to IE as a Specialist or FT Supervisor in the relatively near term. My current situation is not something I want to continue any longer than I have to in order to advance with the company. In addition to working another FT job that pays the bills, I work 35+ hours a week at UPS. Most of my time at UPS is occupied by responsibilities that are generally considered 'FT Supervisor Only' responsibilities, but which were taken away from various FT sups and assigned to me by our manager. In effect, I am a "FT Supervisor Lite", which includes a large fraction of the responsibilities, but none of compensation.

I have a few questions that I would love to get some additional answers to/insight into:

1) For (Specialist) grades 10D and 10E respectively, what's a typical starting range, and also what would you say a typical target value is? If you're able to offer an answer on this, please specify which location you're talking about. (I realize it'd help if I specified my location, but I'd rather stay as anonymous as possible.)

2) For (FT Supervisor) grades 20D and 20E respectively, what's a typical starting range, and also what would you say a typical target value is? If you're able to offer an answer on this, please specify which location you're talking about. (I realize it'd help if I specified my location, but I'd rather stay as anonymous as possible.)

3) Based on my education and work experience (partly with UPS, mostly not), I would honestly self-rate my competencies at/above the Standard job level per the HR job model for various FT IE Supervisor positions I've looked at, and am *definitively* above entry level per those same job models. Would anyone be able to speculate on the odds of being able to move directly to a FT IE Supervisor role from where I am now, and any suggestions on how I could potentially increase those odds?

Thanks in advance for any on-topic replies,

1) depends where in the country you are 50-65k
2) depends where in the country you are 60-75k
3) non of that matters, if there is an opening you can apply

This is fairly correct. Take the money as soon as its offered. Don't give the impression you're wishy-washy about it.

Typically in management you're doing the job of the next level up before they promote you.

Although specialist are FT management they don’t make as much as FT hub management. Usually get a sweet gig in support functions.

Your choice comes down to easy work solid amount of money. Harder job more money.

Unless you land in the sweet are of FT of training other support functions.

My recommendation to you is to reach out to a center manager in the building you work in and express an interest in driving...

Try to get back into the union. If they let you drive during September/October when it’s not the free period you could get a ft bid.

Get yourself to top rate and then ask yourself, when you’re making a lot of money, if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Then if you feel it’s worth it you could go back into management. That’s my 2 cents.
