The way I see it is that you will get your foot in the door. If you're miserable at your location and it takes way too long to relocate, you can always apply to a different gov agency. Or if you're really that miserable, then maybe cbpo just isn't really cut out for you. We can speculate and go through the 'what-ifs' infinitely, but we'll never really know until we're there.Exam: 12/10 (for West Coast)

Originally posted by merlin436 View PostTruthfully, you'll almost assuredly have options to move with 10 years. Whether you'll find those options palatable at the time might be an issue though.
My generic advice is if you want the job...follow the job. If you want the location...stick to the location and hope the job catches up to you.
I will say this...a person who invests 5 years into this job will end up having graduated from FLETC CBPOBT and whatever additional training programs he might pick up over those 5 years. He will have locked himself in to a GS-12 career ladder and he'll have made 300K-400K+ in salary during that time. That's worth something.
Whether or not he could do better somewhere else over those 5 years is a question that he'll have to answer for himself.Exam: 12/10 (for West Coast)

Anybody on here ever go down to the SWB being from the North or Midwest, etc? Im just wondering how difficult the transition is and how you went about finding a place to stay (hotel, apartment) during pre-academy and after FLETC. Im from Michigan and was thinking about applying for SWB but not sure how much of a hardship that is.
