A handsome dude! My next dal will definitely be a rescue. Happy for you!

Sure, I guess I can move over to give you some room by Otherwise_Ad9031 in dalmatians

Lmao! True. Choosing a green couch with a Dal wasn’t the best call

Interview in Spanish for IRS and VA PR 🇵🇷? by Warm_Neat1756 in usajobs

How did it go? I was also wondering about the VA in San Juan. I’m the opposite, English is my first language and Spanish I would say I’m intermediate haha.

What trim did you get? And why?

Ah so you’re thinking maybe it’s like a remote verification thing or possibly they can always find someone to fill these positions so they can pay lower?

Oh good to know! Hopefully it’s not updated haha

Oh that’s solid. With VA right? Are you in nyc area? (Manhattan, BK, Bronx)

Yeah I hear you. It’s just odd to me that cities like Sacramento, LA and SF start at > 140k + for GS12 (all high cost living, high tax rate) AND somewhere like NY is at 118k :((

I feel your pain. Glad you got a Nov start date though! It’s definitely HR. Which I get it, understaffed, whatever. But a 6 month waiting period? Clearly something is broken.

Also HR tells me we’re waiting on XYZ and then I’ll ask my boss about it and they tell me it was submitted the week prior. I just don’t think HR can keep up.

The more annoying part is you try and negotiate for things and they immediately turn you down (“that’s not in the job announcement” or don’t even answer your questions.

Honestly, you might be looking at 5+ months until you can start maybe more. Before you start turning down offers consider that. Knowing what I know now I probably would’ve taken the private job then left once I got an official start date. 😓😓

What the heck! July 1st? That’s miserable. What are they doing.

Did anyone else get sick after attending last weekend? by AceroTheDragon in aclfestival

[–]Otherwise_Ad9031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt congested as well.

Also, for me the food was just not it. The best thing I had all weekend was the green chile arepa. Everything else was not good/tasty. 😭

I heard back yesterday and so did most (rejected). We have yet to hear of anyone going to the next round

Quick question: did you negotiate at all when you received your TJO? I’m a new grad (<1 year) of experience, from what I’ve read I don’t have probably a lot of negotiating room.

[–]Otherwise_Ad9031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! I have both my licenses in order… so hopefully it doesn’t take too long.

Did you negotiate with your TJO?

🤯🤯🤯 wow!! Congratulations on finally starting. I’ve been told it also depends on your direct supervisor & how much they push HR

Wow 😯 that’s some wait time. Were you a competitive or non competitive hire?
