IE you might get like a $400 pay check, instead of the $1100 you are used to in training. Just an FYI, so someone doesnt come up short on rent/food money.

It is only one check, but your first check after IOE will be like $400-$600 for 2 weeks, because they adjust overpayment from the last one. If you can try and finish IOE near the 15th or 30th.
