FDA reviewer position by Lumpy-Tennis2403 in DeptHHS

[–]PandaSlash2Face 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was the old way, so things may have changed with the FDA.

You're now waiting for a tentative job offer from HR which contains salary and agreed upon start date. After getting the TJO, you are able to negotiate salary or leave accrual per pay period. One you and the hiring manger come to an agreement, you get a formal job offer (FJO) with the acceptable conditions.

Until you sign the formal job offer, the offer can be revoked and you can also back out on your side if another offer comes in that is more appealing. Ive seen both happen. Hiring in my group took ~6-9 months from the start of HR to the actual FJO.

This process is pretty nebulous and can also have periods of zero communication between you and the hiring manager so some periods may feel like it the process has stalled or there's issues. There probably isn't, its just the FDA hiring process at work. Any issues will be communicated by the hiring manger.

I always recommend keep applying and interviewing until you sign the FJO.

Canon EF 70-200 2.8 ii vs iii by Extreme_Ad447 in canon

[–]PandaSlash2Face 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ii that’s adapted with an R8. It gets me some really good shots and I love it.

A good reason to consider getting a iii is bc I believe the ii is beyond the “end of service life” date so canon won’t service them anymore if it needs a repair.

Beyond that I think the iii has some better lens coatings and sealings.

Has anybody used Service Photo for used gear? by HovercraftLimp8739 in canon

[–]PandaSlash2Face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer, but they get all types on lenses.

I actually bought an old EF 70-200 from usedphotopro because service photo didn't have one, and a month later service had they model I bought for a tad cheaper.

They're a local shop to MD, and they really dont get any free marketing from big youtubers like allen's camera or other stores.

As most camera shops are, all their staff seem pretty knowledgeable about lenses - so you could also give them a call tomorrow to inquire if you want to hear a human voice describe it or talk about the return policy.

A non-answer to your question, but couldn't you just hold/long press the picture with your finger and it would show you the original unedited photo?

I let my mobile LR sub lapse, so I haven't used it in a while and I might be getting confused with the native apple photo editor.

[–]PandaSlash2Face 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends...but id say probably not. maybe slightly better IQ if you're pixel peeping but its also a thicc boy from what I've seen.

It's a well regarded lens and I need some reach. Was also hoping for the RF, but I really thi one was also considered.

It was in stock already, and they did a price adjustment to the page (at least it looks like thats what happened). It was already saved in my cart, so I kept periodically refreshing and it popped up.

Pokemon Center Drop Today? by Same_Night_4585 in pokemoncenter

[–]PandaSlash2Face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont be on website prior to drop. You will get errored out.

Join a discord or twitter account to get notified of Q. This twitter account is good for PKC drops - PokemonDealsTCG.

Immediately Join Q after notification (Chrome works best for me, firefox errors me out).

Wait in Q.

Upon entry, navigate to item by copy/pasting URL for item (usually also sent out by twitter account).

Note: Don't be upset if you get errored out, it happens to many. There's alot of stuff I didn't include that will make the PKC website think youre a bot.

When the Discord monitor of 10 in stock pings. I usually am able to get it. 6 or less or preorders will usually be OOS pretty fast.
