RE: Salary and Multiplier at Interview
Mind you defence is a whole different ballgame, I know of one company that bid the base program at one and a bit, and then charged all extra work (scope change etc) at some eye bleeding multiple.

People on this site often get so upset when people bring up rules of thumb on technical matters. However, when it comes to financial or medical issues folks obsess about them.

RE: Salary and Multiplier at Interview
My point is others do object but then seem to get hung up on rules of thumb in other fields that may be even less accurate.

Talking multipliers is fine while you're negotiating salary, but I doubt it would be taken either seriously or kindly if brought up too early in an interview process.

A more meaningful question might be about what their "hit" rate is, i.e., what's their win ratio

RE: Salary and Multiplier at Interview
It's often not so well behaved, i.e., yes, proposal was built around using seniors, but once underway, it's often the PM that gets to decide on the actual team makeup, and the seniors are only called in for specific consults and then cast off to drift and find their own way, without having a safe harbor of another proposal to work on.
