Negotiating before accepting TJO

Just got a tentative job offer for a AF Civilian position, is there any room to negotiate salary, and when/how do I ask about the recruitment incentive? Should I ask before or after accepting the TJO?

Also is the 4hr PTO accrual rate negotiable at all?

I’m in the early stages of the background investigation process for getting a secret clearance.

My parents are on a green card living in the US and I was born in the US and grew up in a NATO ally country until high school.

I’ve been invited to a friend’s wedding abroad, so the guests would be mostly foreign nationals (all white collar professionals, nothing unusual). I don’t have any concerning contacts or anything to hide, I just want to understand if attending would complicate or slow down my clearance.
I don’t have to go, it would just be nice to attend.

I know I’d need to disclose the travel and any foreign contacts on my SF-86. Just wondering if this situation adds up any confusion or the risk of getting denied?

I recently received a tentative offer for an Air Force civilian position requiring a Secret clearance. I’m in the early stages of the background investigation process.

I grew up in a NATO ally country, my parents are on a green card living in the US. I’ve been invited to a friend’s wedding abroad. The guests would be mostly foreign nationals (all white collar professionals, nothing unusual).

Curious if anyone has experience with this or knows how foreign travel and incidental contact with foreign nationals during a social event like a wedding is viewed during the Secret clearance process.
I know I’d need to disclose the travel and any foreign contacts on my SF-86. Just wondering if it’s worth the potential complexity or if this is pretty routine for investigators.
