But just to clarify there is no guarantee of any actual work in this position? Because they lied in the phone interview they said it was Monday to Friday full time no mention of "on-call" or "as needed" basis.Amazon flex or something until you get the call.
If you show out as a seasonal you "might" get a call to qualify as a 22.4 next year, and if you qualify you are guaranteed to be mid to upper middle-class once you become a top rate RPCD in 4 or 5 years.
Patience can be a virtue.
