PE Exam
I recently passed the Transportation Exam and when I worked for Georgia DOT I did not work under any PE, should I still try to still have my old manager verify my work history while at Georgia DOT?

Passed First Try
All I used to pass was Petro Booklet, ppi2pass, Quizlet and NCEES practice test. I studied on and off for like a year but really locked in starting April 10th and tested on July 14th. That’s all it takes. Lock in and stay focus and you can do it! So happy to be done.

TJO Salary Negotiations
Currently working on a mega project with USACE and the entire team has a 10% retention bonus to stay at the project office… my significant other is not happy with where we live and they want to move closer back home. So I’ve applied to a position closer back home and received the TJO now my question is, can I keep the 10% retention bonus or do I have to give it all up? Because they’re offering me just my grade and step (GS11-3) but with the retention bonus I’m paid nearly as much as a GS11-6.

Connection Issues
Just wondering, are any of you experiencing this issue? Come into work today me and all of my coworkers have this message on our login screen which is so weird. Currently in SAS.

PE Transportation
So in this path to the PE, I’m currently studying with the online self pace PPI pass (it’s like $400 for an online book and two online tests) but I’m currently doing the practice and this test is like scary easy. Is PPI PE study material a good comparison for the actual PE? I used them for the FE and I was well prepared so I thought “heck yeah I’ll use them again for the PE.” But this practice test is like too easy that I’m second guessing it. Has anybody else experienced this?

Roth Conversion
I wish they allowed you to only convert your traditional balance with the Roth Conversion. I currently have $6,333.09 of traditional funds and I want to convert just that money and leave my match and auto 1% alone. I want every dollar that I contribute to grow tax free and any “free” money I’m fine with that being taxed in the future. I’m 30 years old and I’m just playing the Roth and retire game. I’m a GS12-4 on RUS contributing just 7% of my income currently. Eventually I do want to get to a 10% contribution rate and leave it there for the rest of my career.

Does it genuinely take you guys longer than 6 minutes to do problems from the Petro book? I’m finding it takes me 10-15 minutes to do these problems.
