Thanks, hopefully there'll be plenty of OT... For the internal announcements, I meant operational and mission support gigs within CBP offices like intel research specialist, trade specialist, policy analyst, internal affairs, not other agencies.

Some ports have plenty of overtime available. Many others do not. If I had to guess I'd say the majority of ports see little to middling amounts of overtime as it relates to the majority of their CBPO population.


There are a limited numbers of internal positions along the lines that you described. Prior CBPO experience probably helps in some hiring situations, less so in others.

Night diff is 15%, overnight diff (regular shift that crosses 4am) is 20%

But probably better pay? 3% of big money vs 20% of small cash. Hmmm? Do your math wisely

What do you see for retirement?

That too should be a consideration.
Federal 12D retirement isn't all that substantial.

20 years at 1.7%. 1% each additional year.

If a person is young enough and retires earlier rather than later in his career, he might spend more years collecting retirement than he does working.

Guys, if anyone wants to study for the cbp entrance exam, send me a message! Good luck to everyone!

Soooo I went on CASS and BI says :

"Background investigation forms received pending review for completeness of forms or pending completion of medical, drug test, fitness exam or structured interview if required."

Im guessing this is a good thing because it has been updated! How long does someone think it will be until I get my poly scheduled after this slight "change" in my CASS??

I hope soon... Im just happy there has been some kind of update instead of just saying in the office or what ever it was that it said before.

You completed the med and si already right? Why would it not still be in the security office

question guys, how long does the hiring process take around? 12 months? 1 year. 2 year?

[Taz81]

I have been referred to scheduling!

How long did it take from the time they told you your BI was cleared and when you received the green check on Cass?
