Agree, took a cut in monthly salary when I joined, overall package including bonuses only increased around 5%, needed the stability and work life balance after my kid came out.

your salary from private sector doesn't matter as you are entering public service. what they will see in the end is the years of RELEVANT experience and your degree. I won't be surprised if you get offered lower, so you have to be mentally prepared. from what i observed, i have never seen mid career entering at DX11 directly, but my data is limited. you should ask HR.

I entered as DX13S, was a DD in another gov agency, resigned and joined as a Br Hd. They will assess based on suitability and relevant experience mainly, and non-relevant experience can contribute towards the no. of increment steps within grade. My experience is that they will take your last drawn into consideration as well, as long as it within the job grade/band range. Not convenient to share more, better to check with your HR POC if you have any questions, they will usually schedule a call with you for clarifications. Best to prepare a list so that you make the most out of it.

Sounds very fake.
What if the vetting failed?
And there are cases that fail.
The official job offer is only after security clearance is obtained.
