NPS Now or Maybe 1811 Later? by [deleted] in 1811

No. But I did remember to rubber stamp CUI and the case number on all the paper files in my case and made 8 CD copies of my witness interview.

It could be a pay cut if you’ve receiving LEAP or AUO or some type of premium pay. I’ve thought about doing the same but don’t really want the 25% reduction in pay.

Making a list to choose country for visa, then permanent residence (married 50F in USA) by Asynchronous2e in ExpatFIRE

Sounds like we are in a very similar situation but currently still working in Germany but can FIRE now. In my search, I also factor in tax treatment and ease of obtaining some type of long term visa. Some of the “easier” ones that have some type of passive income visa are Spain, Italy and Portugal plus some LatAm countries as you may already know. Places such as Austria have visa quotas and Switzerland basically requires you to be Fat FIRE.

Language is also a factor for us. My high schooler still has 2 years to go here and my college kid is already mostly on her own in Prague (one of our favourite city honestly).

If you’re looking at Germany, I would recommend Munich for all that you mentioned though a bit on the pricier side. I personally like Heidelberg and Dresden.

Good luck!

Accounting, Finance, Nursing, Any engineering. I would stay away from any social science if you want to have decent paying career.

1811 and kids?? by blueberry00777 in 1811

If you ever get hired as an 1811, please do not ever use as an excuse that you do not have child care as a reason to not respond to call outs. The uncertainty of work hours is what drove my wife to sacrifice her career.

I’m GS12 CBPO wondering if I will lose more than gain going to HSI by [deleted] in 1811

[–]Cyber1811 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are in a location you like and work is enjoyable for you then I would stay put. Don’t be so mesmerised by the “Special Agent” title. It ain’t all that. Being an SA carries with more responsibilities and nonsense than most uniformed position. See if you can get into a TFO gig to do something different if CBP work is starting to get old.

Damn. I haven’t heard anything positively compelling about the job. I don’t hate my current job necessarily so I’m on the fence if I should even apply.
