this is seriously too much of a paycut to absorb
the govt should seriously reconsider if they want to get good people in

160k, offered at 110k. I reckon that the position may be too junior since its not always obvious based on job position, but I thought in that case hr would have known, vs behaving now that it's just my expectation is too high. Guess it's also luck for the hr I met.

I have 15y+ work exp, so it's not that I'm some young high flier earning alot in early 30s.

Wow ok that's fast. I heard nothing for more than a week already, so I guess prob failed it.
For you, prob still clearing security checks since hr has already confirmed they will proceed. They said

What are the chances that application status in process translate to interview? I put in 2 application, it went to in process but then become unsuccessful after a very long period. Demoralised.

I still have application that since in process since last year. If there is no call or email for interview after one month from date of applications. Just take it as unsuccessful. Usually the person who update the system is busy or lazy.

I applied for a job at a stat board (rlated to trade min), timeline as below.
I wonder what's taking so long. Still staying hopeful tho. Just wanted to share here!

Mid july - submit application
Mid august - received news of first interview

17 august - 1st interview
18 August - hr called to arrange for peer session
19 august - peer session

End aug - didn't hear back from Hr. Dropped an email, HR called to discuss concerns about salary, that it may not match my current pay/ expectations. Shared that i am open to discussion.
Next day - received news for 3rd interview

5 sept - final interview
13 sept - no news, dropped an email, HR called next day to inform still processing and doing clearance, adding that the comments were positive.

Hopefully things will turn out well. fingers crossed!
Either that or its clear that the salary offer may not even be able to meet halfway with expected salary.

slow to move things in general. will not recommend.

Do all SB/Ministries require the medical checkup + G50 clearance or is it just the selective few that are more "secretive" or needs to be physically fit?

But YOU CALLING ME RUDE AND ACCUSING ME OF BEING RUDE, now that is just plain rude.

Happened to come across this on forum. This comment alone reflects how successful your "useful" degree has taught you in appreciating diversity and interdisciplinary perspectives. Which is so important in today's world.
