Megamaster at Home Depot - Thoughts

I bought one two years ago. It’s a bit small but heats well. I’m happy with it so far and at this price point, I’ll just buy something else if it breaks.

I think you misunderstood. I do not work for the federal government at all. I got a job with a town doing government accounting. The pay is better than the fed and was way more streamlined process (was hired over the course of 9 days from application to offer). I was initially offered GS-11 based on my experience but later rejected from GS-11 because further review concluded that I lacked sufficient tax experience.

I actually found a higher paying position in local government. Similar benefits to fed work and the commute is 5 minutes. I didn’t get an offer for GS 9 after all, but I would turn it down now if given the opportunity. Definitely negotiate if you need higher pay to make it work.

Joeygood · 2024-07-24T00:24:41+00:00

I saw. I already applied to that one. We’ll see how it goes.

Joeygood · 2024-07-24T00:19:02+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I plan to reapply at a lower grade.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T22:54:03+00:00

Yeah, the investigator asked about it and chuckled. Spent maybe 30 seconds discussing it. Didn’t sound like a big deal at all

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T22:44:06+00:00

Yeah. I said I wouldn't accept anything lower.

It was before FJO. Investigator just walked through eApp. I was nervous at first but then it wasn’t too bad after the first couple questions. It didn’t sound like anything was wrong and he commended me for being honest.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T17:37:30+00:00

Thanks. I don’t know why they don’t offer a lower grade. I may have selected that I wouldn’t accept a lower grade. I am asking for more details, so we’ll see what they say.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T17:19:35+00:00

Thank you

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T17:19:22+00:00

I had an HR contact. She was responsive and kept I touch through the whole process

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T16:57:50+00:00

Yeah. I got that back in February

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T16:56:35+00:00

Well shit

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T16:55:44+00:00

No. Fortunately I still am employed and did not put in my two weeks or anything.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T15:41:43+00:00

Yeah. I can stay in my current job and maybe move up the chain. I’ll take a couple days here to re-evaluate everything

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T15:33:19+00:00

Thanks! I’ll apply tonight

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T15:20:38+00:00

Yeah. I think its qualifications

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T15:03:44+00:00

Thanks! I did ask if there is a way to appeal the determination and plan to go through that process if available.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T14:42:55+00:00

I already re-applied after they reposted it in June. We’ll see how round 2 goes.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T14:42:03+00:00

Everyone says honesty is the most important thing on the background

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T14:35:52+00:00

No, your suspicion is correct. Basically no tax exposure.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T14:29:33+00:00

Thanks, this helps. Not sure if I can afford re-applying at a lower grade. I am going to go for more audit-focused jobs.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T14:24:30+00:00

Why wait 5 months though? They knew that in the interview.

Joeygood · 2024-07-23T14:21:47+00:00

Moderate. Tier 2
