So I joined Booz allen last summer on a contract that only required a public trust. I Filled out all the forms, presumed I got an interim public trust, and then in late January, I got a request for an “investigator interview” with some investigator. I did the interview, everything went fine, and it’s now basically April and I never heard anything back (either confirming completion of investigation or any issues). For a public trust, do they normally reach out to you when it’s complete??

My first public trust ran into suitability issues (fed employee in law enforcement agency, non-law enforcement role) due to past illegal conduct. I was informed of that through telling me they were going to reject it and terminate me, I appealed and they agreed, granting me the public trust. I wouldn't have known but for them telling me they were withdrawing the suitability inquiry. About a week after that, I got normal system access.

Same was the case for every subsequent job. Sent in the SF-85, never heard a peep. If you fail you don't get system access, if you have system access, you failed.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...

Been asked by a client to apply for a GS14 term position but I have a few questions/concerns.
1. Current salary is 140K with ~10K variable comp. If I wanted to at least match, it would require me to be in Step 5/6— is that possible/likely or would I have to start at Step 1?
2. How often have you seen term positions converted to permanent? I’m considering turning this offer down due to this.
