Looking for insight from anyone with OIG experience.

I'm a recent accounting grad pursuing my CPA with a background in data analytics. I have a NASA internship this summer in a business-facing role and applied for an OIG internship this fall. Long term I'm targeting the OIG, either Office of Audits or the Data Analytics unit within Investigations.

A few questions:

• Auditor (0511) or Program Analyst (0343), which is more realistic for my background?
• Which series is the best entry point at GS-7/9?
• How competitive are these roles for recent grads?
• Any advice on positioning for full-time after internships?

Trying to be strategic about the next year or two. Any insight appreciated.

Hi everyone! I’ll be interning this summer at MSFC and visiting Huntsville from SoCal, so this will be my first time in the Southeast.

I’m currently looking into housing/roommates near Redstone Arsenal and wanted to ask for local advice. Are there any areas I should target or avoid when it comes to rent, commuting, and safety?

I’d also love recommendations on things to do around Huntsville, including entertainment, restaurants, nightlife, outdoor spots, and anything else worth checking out. I’m curious about local culture too and anything a newcomer from California should know before spending the summer out there.

Appreciate any advice you have.
