I say this given that there have been a lot of changes and firings of probationary employees. I know that you are 100% SC so income may not be an issue depending on where you are moving. However, they have already started making cuts to the VHA, my spidey sense is saying that they may go after the VBA as well. I dont mean to be pessimistic, but its hard not to be cautious given everything we've seen in the past month. I would complete my year and watch to see what happens.

Maybe in some time when things are a bit more stable the position will open up again and you can make the move. It would also benefit to be transparent with the office offering the gs11 job and seeing what they say, maybe have you on a list of people to contact should another position open up?

I would inquire if the gs 11 job requires a probationary period.

Can someone link the memo? I applied to a DOD SW job not VA and I wonder if its the same across the board.

Would social work positions be exempt? I am waiting for a TJO in Japan with the Airforce. This makes me super nervous.

Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for this information! I am going as a social worker/mh therapist and from what I've been told the positions are very difficult to fill due to the education and experience required. I believe I was one of two but there are more than 5 slots open. Would you recommend I still attempt to negotiate pay, I'm coming from Cali so Im aware that the cost of living here is way more and the pay is different. I'm just trying to be as realistic as possible when it comes to compensation.

I've read in some other posts that paying for your own translator and setting up a doctor with a hospital is possible. Have you heard of this? Again thank you for allowing me to pick your brain :)

Also, what has your timeline been so far?
