Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?

I can see a reason you wouldn’t.

Edit: “can’t” see a reason...

Oh I’m sorry - you’d said ‘I can see a reason you wouldn’t’ and I thought you were implying something that I didn’t catch on to. Ok thank you!

Additionally, with this type of government job, even though you’ve ‘accepted’ the offer, you can turn it down once you’re through processing. They don’t expect that you keep living your life and drop everything after they take years to get you the go ahead.

Anyone here understand lease jargon?

Signed a lease in Feb & got a great deal in a new rent stabilized apt (not sure how, but somehow stabilized in a newer building).

I’ve looked over my lease recently for something & noticed there’s a rider stating preferential rent is only for the term of the lease & then can be increased to the legal regulated rent. In 2019 I thought the law changed so that all renewals needed to be based off preferential rent & could only be raised with new tenants?
