While in still a few years ago I took a USPs full time position because of the hours and they worked with my school schedule. During orientation they said the hours aren’t actually fixed and that the new hours are in conflict with my school schedule. I wasn’t in the best of places at the time so after the orientation I never showed up, never resigned and never called.

Ive been working for the state for over 2 years now and I’m interviewing for a Recent graduate job with the OIG. Am I screwed because of my USPS screw up?

I am interviewing for a GS7 auditor position with the OIG. I’m not a Fed employee but I work for the state as an auditor. Im hoping someone can share some insight that the interview might not be able to. The position goes up to GS13. I’be always been a great employee and I changed careers which is why I’m starting over. It’s also a recent grad pathway.

1. How difficult is it to progress from GS7-13? The location is in a small city so I’m guessing the office has less than 20 people

2. How difficult is it to transfer locations? My goal is to leave this small city and move to a larger city like Kansas City or Chicago.

3. Is it even worth leaving a safe (albeit low paying) state audit job for this given the recent fed employment environment?

4. Would a CPA even matter? Is there a bonus to having or getting one?

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated!

I applied for a GS7 audit job and I’m a current state employee in the state auditors office. The benefits are great but the pay and promotional opportunity are very low. Is the OIG HHS audit field a good area in terms of job security and WLB? I’m not 100% certain if I should leave my current job as I do enjoy it but there really isn’t much of a future here.

I am a new CPA if that matters
