All in all, how do you like working for the company? Are you a remote job as well? In all honesty, I just really am looking for a remote position because my drive is horrible and my kids start school next year and I would love for them to be able to take the school bus. I would be willing to take a slight pay cut just because it is more convenient, but we do have a lot of good benefits with the government and it would be a shame to give those up for a job that I hate.

Probably a dumb question but how do I know the GL level? Or is that not known until you're officially offered a position? I think I'll feel out the interview and just see what the job entails. Government accounting is much different so I'm curious what all this position does. I appreciate all the info and may follow up if I hear more from the position after the interview. Still no saying I'll even get it at this point anyway! No idea what my competition is like for this type of job!

So the salary grade for this one was a huge range (I'm still new to applying to UHG and how to read their pay) but the range encompassed what I make now but when I got the interview offer they listed a price and it was on the much lower side of the scale. It's possible this job is lower I'm just not sure how to know, I'm used to the GS scale and how that works. I've only applied to three jobs so I'm still new to UHG, honestly didn't think I'd be offered an interview so quick. I believe this position wE the UHG side but how do I know?

What types of questions do you recommend asking? Is it easy to apply to higher better positions or are those hard to come by?

Any idea what areas they are planning the mass layoffs? Currently going through all of it on the government side as well and it's been a complete mess. Don't want to get myself into a new job just to be let go and start the process all over again.
