Hello everyone.

I recently got offered a job with LM. It’s a supply chain job. I was in the Navy 5 yrs and went to GS but didn’t last long maybe 11 months? Because I decided to go back to school. When I went back to school, I had quit that job and my husband was ok with me going to school FT. The career field I tried to go to school for doesn’t really pay well and I told him I might just have to hold off going back to study again.

So 2 months ago I applied for a supply chain job and didn’t think I was even going to get pass the ATS. So when I found out I was scheduled for an interview I got so excited and really prepared myself.

I haven’t been working since Apr 2025 because I was in school. I finished school in Nov 2025. The position I was offered is 73 miles and they asked me for a salary range and I told them… I got an email today with the offer letter and it’s $20k less than what I asked for… when I was doing GS I was a GS9 step 1 so I was taking home $1700 after taxes every 2 weeks and this new position is paid weekly…

Is it worth the drive to take on a $57k job and drive 73 miles one way 4 days a week 10 hr shifts??? I’m thinking of doing a counter offer but not sure what would be a feasible but not outrageous difference where I won’t even get the job.

TIA🫶🏻

Will be working in Orlando soon, am looking to gather info on location to buy a home.

Looking at things, a 3.5mi commute to Dr. Phillips is 18 minutes and a 21 mile commute to Kissimmee is an hour.

That ratio doesn't bode well at all for someone used to the freeways of the Midwest.

Any reliably flowing express lanes I can take (besides the I-4 one through downtown) on John young, 528, etc?

Looking to minimize commute to less than 30 highway rush hour minutes. Meaning, we will incur some delay getting out of the immediate vicinity, but don't want to spend more than 30m on the actual highway, no matter the speed or the time.

Anyone got any tips or insight?

I am going through background after accepting position at MFC Orlando. In meantime, i got an invite from another talent acquisition person about event in Melbourne,FL for requirement at MFC Orlando mid may. Should I go and check out?

Hi all,

I’ve recently applied to the GNC role at the Sunnyvale location and was wondering what the application process is like. I saw the job posting a couple weeks ago and applied immediately, but then the posting was taken down a few days later. Wasn’t sure what that meant, however it’s been reposted as of yesterday. Any thoughts on this too?

Also it would be great if anyone could speak on their experience as a GNC engineer at LM!

Thank you in advance!
