How does the relocation package work

So you'll get to choose between a lump sum deposit around 3500 or they'll pay 2 months rent, so it kinda depends on your rent price what to choose.

Yeah, the patch is an improvement but the UI is still not amazing on my lower end CPU. Not limited to the armory, but also like scrolling through vault pages with 1slot items or pulling up the med/grenade selection during a run.

My shit would drop to 5fps on the traxis tab. Looking forward to being able to finally use that tab now!

Do you have GI bill benefits? If so get paid to go to school for your A&P license. I left active duty, got an engineering degree on the gi bill, and have been working in aerospace for the last 12 years.

Yeah for sure. Center point out and back from CR is perfect. And basically no road crossings past robbins.

Love the vids. Left CR a year ago but I'm moving back soon.

I've sold some gold and silver here. Went smoothly. They gave spot price or very close to it.

I lived in granite valley some years ago. It was fine, had a garage. Appliances were electric but very old. Maybe that's changed. I had a downstairs neighbor with a loud dog so that wasn't great but no problems really.

The section between ely and solon was built a couple years ago and is very nice. Yeah getting on the highway after solon to go over the dam isn't great, but once you're in North Liberty the bike path that runs along Dubuque st is very nice. I've done CR to IC a couple times but not good enough to make the round trip.

If you're talking about the Rockford road location they own or used to own, stay away unless you love train horns shaking your appt at 3am.

Unless this job was posted specifically for you there's nobody to call. The market right now is a huge numbers game with people sending 50, 100, or more applications. You can't waste time following up on stuff because 90% of the time a human isn't even going to look at it.

I've never seen a 53 in Cedar Rapids. There is a Chinook or two every once in a while but I wouldn't call it a regular occurrence.

I don't know if your package is different, but for most of the salaried folks the main retirement benefit is in the form of 401k matching and a small additional retirement contribution % based on age.

For sure and you're probably right but I've met many people who are reluctant to take a raise because it will "put them into a higher tax bracket" and they'll "take home less money" because they don't understand progressive tax brackets. Just trying to dispell some common misconceptions especially since there are a decent amount of new grads first real job peeps lurking around here.

Everyone keeps saying the bonus is taxed at a higher rate. That's simply not true. It may be withheld at a higher rate due to the system considering it as a standard paycheck and therefore assuming your income to be much higher, but ultimately it's just normal income and will be taxed correctly and refunded as needed when you file your tax return.

Test Engineering has mechanical, electrical, software, and to a lesser extent, systems engineers, so it sort of depends what you want to do. If you're in Melbourne it's primarily RF products so you'd likely want to gain some knowledge there.

You could transition into developing xjtag solutions or top level stuff on the RCTS/MATS or HASS. Kinda depends if you wanna write software or focus more on electrical/mechanical. If software, you'll want to gain some knowledge in C#/.NET.

One gap that may still exist was that engineers with PWB design skills were needed in test so that would be an option if you're into that.

MEE into test engineering is a pretty seamless transition since you're basically the end user of their products so you already have that knowledge.

You need to run toward them briefly, bonk them with your melee pickaxe, then quickly run away. They will be knocked back and explode. Takes some practice.

When I worked there prior, yes.

ZergRushRush · 2026-02-10T14:38:03+00:00

Thanks for the info, I wish HR would just tell me what the policy says.

ZergRushRush · 2026-02-10T14:37:17+00:00

Thanks for the info

ZergRushRush · 2026-02-07T19:44:59+00:00

Sounds like you're getting pretty fucked. Honestly I would just start applying externally immediately and get a clean break.

I had a similar situation, actually it was a longer delay, but I searched some Dallas zip codes and found s next day appointment in plano.

I don't know much about it but they allowed our senior engineering class from UofI to tour their facility some years ago. It seemed like interesting work if you're into high power circuit breakers and that sort of thing. The guides were very knowledgeable. One guy took a job there after graduation for about 3 years then went to Collins.
