Does your verbal offer comes with a package as well?

HR went through with me my expected salary during the call.

Alot doesnt understand the difference between keen to process vs verbal offer.

You may want to call your HR and check with them.
Usually a verbal offer come with salary package, not talking about expected.

However i would said yours is 80% confirmed.

Verbal offer: 99% getting the job (unless got issue with background/medical checks)
Keen to process: 50% chance of getting the job

This is my understanding, correct me if i am wrong.

Keen to process what do they usually inform the candidate? So meaning no salary is mentioned? Keen to process would they still do background/ reference check?

Can I check if I have accepted an offer from a Ministry but have not signed with Vital.
Can I still back out and accept other SB offer ?

First time entering CS, pardon me. TIA.

Verbal offer likely already do background check and most already do medical check. Anyway, different min/sb got different practice so will leave it out.

Keen to process has different meaning in different stages. Here i assume is after final interview.

Verbal: 95% in (why not 99/100% because of last min pull out- example position make redundant).

Keen to process: 75% in (unless you fail security clearance/medical or reference check). Reason because you already know your background including security and medical. Reference is also put in by yourself. 25% is mainly due to security clearance. If you know you have good security background + health, your chances is as high as 95%.

As for 50% i would state as long as you selected for final interview, you are at 50%
