The Records Management Analyst is quite a dull job that requires those in this role to basically scan and file documents. Something that could potentially make this job interesting is having the freedom to read some of the documents throughout the day.
The position doesn’t pay that much ($66,900), however, the ones performing under this title (and like all positions in the White House) must be security classified and sworn to secrecy.
Deputy Assistant to the President for Operations and Personal Aide to the President — $158,000
Often referred to as the President's "Body Man," the Deputy Assistant to the President for Operations and Personal Aide to the President is responsible for being the president’s every man. Whether it’s a pen or a newspaper, their job is to meet the president’s immediate needs, and they often become good friends.
The annual fee for this position is $158,000, which is higher than the President's first body man, who made $115,000 in 2017.
Director of Oval Office Operations — $145,000
As a glorified receptionist, the Director of Oval Office Operations is one of the only White House employees with complete access to the Oval Office. No one can get inside to see the president without their approval, as they’re considered the gatekeeper.
The lucky person to succeed in this position earns $145,000 per year. Brian Mosteller held the position under Obama and is known for never leaving his side while he was in Washington. In 2015, he earned significantly less in the role, with a salary of just $102,000.
Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Coordination — $30,000
The Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Coordination is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the president’s policy process. Basically ensuring things run smoothly, and that there aren't any hiccups along the way.
In 2009, Mona Sutphen held a similar position under Obama’s administration, with a significantly higher salary of $172,200. Maybe Sutphen had other matters he was responsible for, as we can't explain how the salary of this position has increased dramatically.
Counsel to the President — $183,000
The Counsel to the President is the top lawyer in the White House who informs the president what they can and cannot legally do in office. Understandably, this job can be quite complex and often involves analyzing what the president is most likely to get away with.
The current position owner earns $183,000 per year. In 2015, the position contributed $ 173,922 to the position owner's bank account. What another $10,000 between you and me.
