I know CO's are paid hourly. Is there a locality pay on top of the yearly pay being offered on the USAJOBS website? Or is it strictly just your base yearly pay + whatever OT / night/weekend/holiday extra pay you can pick up?
I'm from and currently living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Ill be working as a Border Patrol Agent in Chula Vista beginning in January 2027.
From January 2027-July 2027 my salary will be $74K- there's potential to make much more with OT and night/weekend/holiday pay. However- that's never guaranteed to be consistent- so Im basing budget off of my 6 month $74K salary. In August 2027 i get my 1st salary raise to $83k and automatic raises every year after.
QUESTIONS:
I really only need a 1 bedroom or even a studio.
-Anyone have any suggestions as far as affordable areas to look for rentals that arent far from my station in Chula Vista?
-Is it hard to find roommates, with affordable pricing for a room rental in a decent/nice house in surrounding areas?
-I dont know the political climate in SD, and I know there is a TON of misinformation people claim to think they know about Border Patrol even here in Pittsburgh -Considering that, do you think it will be hard to find roommates that are accepting of my career? I have no political affiliation and my choice to take this career is to help those in need in the drug and human trafficking sector.
-How do i actually find roommates in SD ? Lol
-Is my salary going to have me living paycheck to paycheck eating chicken and oatmeal every day?
Any information you can provide is sincerely appreciated. Im making this move on my own and don't know anyone in the SD area. I can use all the help i can get.
Thank you for your insight!
Cashed out Sunday, didn’t drive Monday (yesterday), Woke up today to check reservation opportunities & had this in my account…?!
Why would Uber pay me this? What does this mean : “we increased your earnings so the amount you keep inconsistent week over week”
What’s the purpose?
Anyone else get this too?
