Timeline for FJO?

I’ve accepted a TJO at FDA for a reviewer position, and have confirmed a September start date with my onboarding specialist. However, I was notified that FJO letters are delayed and that even August 24th FJO letters were still pending approval two weeks ago.

Any updates on whether any September hires have gotten their FJOs or an expected timeline? The only thing I know is that there is a huge wait/backlog due to the large number of new hires expected to join.

TJO Salary Negotiation and Next Steps

I recently received a TJO for an FDA reviewer position.

However, I made a silly mistake of “accepting” instead of selecting “Request to be contacted” in the offer response link. When I contacted HR, they said they’re not sure whether I can proceed with salary negotiation at this stage due to my response selection, but they will look into what can be done. In the meantime I was asked to draft a letter with my proposed salary figure and justification.

I’m a bit confused because I thought salary negotiation occurs typically after accepting the TJO. Although, I realize I should’ve waited for further guidance before acting so quickly. Any thoughts on whether/how a salary negotiation can still take place? Thank you.
