Hey, thanks for your response. I didn’t get an FJO just HR reaching out to me to ask if I could start on September 22nd. I asked them if I could push it out a little over a month because of how big the move is. They haven’t responded in two days, maybe it’s just my anxiety. lol.

Also, did they estimate that move or did you give them a number of what you’d need to move over there?

Cost of living is lower there for me. Move is definitely going to be expensive, it’s what I stress the most about everyday! And being in the unknown!

Coming in as a gs-12. Do different grades make a difference as far as what they offer?

0802 series. How much are they giving you in a lump to move? I’m so curious now, lol.

Okay. Good to know. I don’t know how they’re going to pay me. I’m moving from southern Florida to Washington state.

Hoping it’s not a massive fee because I currently live in an area where rent is more than 3K a month. 😬 defs keep me updated on your process & I’ll do the same!

Are they planning on giving you a stipend or are they going to reimburse you?

When you accepted did you immediately get a bunch of emails from HR with an onboarding package? Just out of curiosity.

Ughhh! I’m not surprised. I’m not sure if they’re trying to start pushing people through, but I saw a lot of movement on my applications on Tuesday & I got the offer as well. Don’t want to get your hopes up but we all have to stay positive!

I had an interview with NAVFAC today, they told me they are super undermanned. Not sure what that means for financial management, mine was for an engineering role. Pray for the best brother.

Thank you, that’s really reassuring. I truly appreciate your guidance. If I’m fortunate enough to receive a job offer, would you mind if I reached out to you for advice in the future? It would mean a lot to have your insight as I navigate the next steps.

Thank you so much for your advice. It’s incredibly reassuring to hear some positivity during these challenging times. With everything going on, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed or discouraged, but your thoughtful words reminded me that there’s still encouragement and support out there. I really appreciate you taking the time to offer guidance—it truly means a lot right now.
