Recommend calling the office of interest and speaking with a front line manager.
I have a contact on the inside who tells 'goal is for you to start on new pay period 9/7 or 21, prior to new fiscal year'. I think it is moving forward, just waiting on 'word'.
If they offer 9/7, is there any issue with me asking for 9/21? Do I lose anything, other than two weeks pay?
