DIS is known to be short-handed. They only notify the successful shortlisted.

If I have roughly 3 years plus of job experience at other ministries, what grade should i be expecting should i manage to land a role? DX9 seems to be an entry grade....will HR usually be open to discuss grades and salary before giving offer letter?
and generally, what is the next steps and how long does it usually take after interviewing at the site?

DX9 is for fresh grad with recognized uni degree.

The job offer is normally not open to negotiations.

Most people take it or leave it.

Posting here because I initially prayed to get in because if the higher salary as compared to other ministries but realised I MIGHT not be a culture fit but I’m still hanging on… dont think I will quit as the market is really bad right now.
Anyways, you can ask me anything and I’ll try to answer so you dont end up like me.

What aspect of the culture is affecting you?

Thought that DXO thread already have tonnes of info.

What surprised you?

so MSD and SID not the same ah?

Does any experienced seniors know whether it is ok to request a short period of 1-2 weeks after offer to consider? (since obviously we have multiple ongoing applications considering the long wait time).

if so, do you think 1 or 2 weeks is reasonable? wonder if they will entertain for dxo

IIRC, job offers are all controlled.
1 offer at a time.
No point to wait.
If you reject, then next offer will be processed.
If you accept, case closed.
