Book 2 Boise Micron

Currently working in local 46/76 areas. I’m weighing my options and one of them is getting on book 2 for local 291 and bidding for micron jobs.

I’m taking my Idaho test the 16th, and want to get on the site early August. My questions are mainly for people who have been called and have insight.

What I’d like to know is:

  1. What are the different companies (outside of pay) culture and responsibilities

  2. What is my likelihood/ timeframe of getting on

  3. What is the turnover like and, are the calls typically short or long? Will that be easily decipherable before getting a call? Ie how reasonably can I judge how long I’d be expecting to be working.

  4. What’s the work outlook from august to 6 months later?

WA state. Income $8760

Savings goals on robinhood banking are representative of the corresponding budget category. Any unused cash in that category will go into its respective slush fund and remainder budgeted rolls over to next month

There’s $370 left not budgeted, and a friend is moving in for a year at $700/m. Plan is to put that extra into the emergency fund.

We have $15k unallocated cash currently. ($10k in HYSA covering 0% APR debt due in 10 months)

I foresee restaurants and bars ballooning but this is a good start for us and is a good goal I believe.

Any advice from partners recently in my situation would be appreciated. It’s been a journey trying to combine finances without stressing my wife out!
