Interview -> Shortlisted -> Salary Negotiation -> Security/Medical Clearance -> Offer
My question is actually whether I need to wait 2-3 months until after security/medical clearance results before I know my expected salary, and then decide whether I should quit my current job for this new job? Or I can quit my current job while waiting for security/medical clearance.

From my friends' and my own experience:
(1) Interview (up to 3 rounds; takes about 2-4 weeks)
(2) Shortlisted + Verbal Offer (HR may call first to inform youre shortlisted and do interest check, then verbal offer can be immediate or follow 1 or 2 days later; if HR offers a figure then yes maybe nego here)
(3) 2~3 weeks wait for HR to prepare the documents
(4) Security & Medical Clearance (rigor of clearance depends on the role and agency; sometimes just sign medical declaration will do)
(5) HR send contract for viewing [given 1-2 weeks to think before letter of offer expires]
(6) Sign offer
*can also nego and counter-offer at (5) and (6) if youre not comfortable with the offer
If your concern is the salary offered, then try to ask HR to provide the figure for your consideration first before tendering your current job. Otherwise, i'd say you shld tender while you're in the security clearance process before signing offer. |
