1) May I know how long the whole recruitment process is, assuming a successful interview?
2) I see from previous posts, there's a verbal offer and then something called a G50. From what I've read, I can take those as indications of a higher likelihood of entry also? The posts seem to have 2 differing takes, hence my qn.
3) What is the average pay? I'm 2nd upper, political science grad if this matters. Around 4.5 I hope?
4) What is the culture like in the DIS? Is it still very regimental and difficult bosses? My bf tells me that most officers are aloof and think they are know-alls, with only a few exceptions LOL. But then again, my brother says HQ people tend to be nicer. So, what's it like?
Thanks in advance !!

1) depends on clearance level and now especially end of year and early CNY. Maybe lower your expectations to 2 months.
2) verbal offer more concrete whereas clearance they need even if for multiple candidates in case one fails or rejects.
3) around there, seems reasonable.
4) new setup, so many opportunities and depends on who you meet and what is their experience, can’t say for certain on one culture fits all.
SAF sure got the aspect of regimentation.
