A troop brought up an interesting question. Can AF require you to purchase items without being compensated? Things like transportation to work and around base, WiFi, etc.

Maybe but you would have to ask.

It can’t force them but they can sure make their life a lot harder if they don’t

Are you talking about driving yourself to work? If so, it is on you to get there. And they would not require you to purchase Wifi while you are at work. They provide a LAN or Corporate Wifi… at first I thought you were going for uniforms. There are pieces that you are required to provide.

Probably. But there's no guarantee. As USA1 said, you have to ask first.

Hi! Transportation to and from work is pretty much your own expense. If you are required to travel for work, they will compensate you for that.

I’m currently at a studio that has been good to me. They took a chance and allowed me to change career paths. They gave me numerous opportunities that lead me to now, being the head of a department. The big guys at the top has expressed they could see me as the guy to run the company one day but it’s all talk and possibilities right now. I’ll have to wait for now. On the other hand, I have an offer in hand from a much bigger company to be part of their business development. Any advice?
