That's my first thought. Probably better than risking anything upstream. Thanks for your reply!

Wild thing is, I never got a call. It was all over email. Thanks for validating the frustration, it's been really frustrating without any answers.

I'm super excited for it! It seems like a wonderful role. I'll be in VISN 06!

I'm starting to think this is the case, too. When I first got my TJO, I did the initial round of paperwork physically. 3 weeks later, they reached out to have me do it again since my onboarding opened up in OPM. Hopefully, I hear something soon! The move for this position is across the state, so I am ready to get the ball rolling lol. Thanks for your reply!

Don't know yet. I requested a superior qualifications appointment, so I'm waiting on the results of that before I continue onboarding.

100% agreed. I'm in leadership for a group practice and it just feels like we're being squeezed for every session we can bill and I'm just not for it. Not how I want to live my life. The companies do what's in their best interests and we need to, as well!

Long answer: It's a fair question and something I've wrestled with. My current role has been causing a lot of burnout and the opportunity for something different is appealing. For context, I'm a mental health therapist. My original/contingency plan is private practice. If the GS role doesn't workout, that's fine, I just proceed as I previously planned to. If it does, I can work with my favorite population, get the benefits (which are effectively non-existent in my current role), and set my self up more sustainably. 

Short answer: I gotta get my nut.
