Whale,
I wouldnt put the cart before the horse. If and when you might be offered a position, the company would surely provide you information for you to make a decision. The FDA is what it is. There is valuable information on this forum if you can weed out the chaff. I honesty think we are years away from new hiring. We are parking jets and are fat in every seat. It will take years (in my opinion) to get the FDA's up and running and until then I believe the company will use their options to man the FDA's with the current seniority list.
Take it for what it's worth.
