I got a job with the federal government. I think? All the paperwork is completed, got email confirmation that background and suitability cleared, but still don’t have a final offer. Anyone know of this happening to someone and them NOT getting the job? I need to give notice ASAP but everything I’ve read says to wait until you get the formal offer and time just keeps ticking.

I’d wait until that final offer. Government is all about hurry up and wait.

I’d follow up with them and see if you can get an ETA on the final offer.

Landed a job in NYC. As much as I want to live there and will be moving in with my partner I think the most financially savvy option is to live in Jersey city to save on the city tax. Both our salaries would definitely go up next year so moving to the city would be a huge possibility in 2022. Has anyone else started our in Jersey city first ? Is it worth it or should I just try to make it work in NYC ?
