They proposed HR role.

A question for all and if anyone had experience on this. I have applied for a DXO role and was asked to submit documents online. I did that couple of weeks ago and there were no news there after. Does background checks commenced right after submission of these documents or would the background checks commenced once you are selected for the role?

Hi folks, wondering if anyone could share your offer and years of exp? I am considering to apply for a manager role with 7 years exp. I didnt put my expected and current salary cause it was not mandatory. Now i wonder when i should bring up this topic.

Hearing some stories on low offers so wondering if they do really consider your experience to really commensurate or they already have a salary band in mind tagged to the particular role.

For men
DX9 4k plus
Dx10 5k plus
Dx11 6k ish

Dx9 is pegged to assistant manager title, around the rank of a captain.

Those uniform convert to Dx usually Dx10.

Manager is a title inflation, many department you don't have anyone to appraise even at dx11.

As DXO manager is considered quite low.

Manager is divided into AM, M and SM. These are dx 9, 10, 11 respectively.

Within 10 years of experience you may be AM or M.

Your salary will be 4-5k if you are male with NS.

Now you have information to accept another higher pay job.

I haven't got an official offer yet and there was no mention of any medical exam or security interview (G50 was already submitted 2 months ago before the interviews).

Is it likely that I'm more or less confirmed already?

Yes more or less confirmed. Dxo don't need to pass health screening it's for Uniformed personnel. You are just invited to a 1 size fit all procedure.

if i got send them salary info, and my current salary is higher than 6k, will they straight away disqualified me as the dx11 is getting around 6k and look for those younger and cheaper ones? I worked for almost 20 years and have 10 years relevant exp.
