I have left feeling the exact same - I felt so overwhelmed but realised that everything is going to happen over a 3 year period which helped. That mixed in with the fact that I have been feeling really unmotivated where I am, I feel like that will improve with the TSP!! I haven’t heard back yet from the checks, but I did submit my checks a little later as I needed to get a bank statement for my proof of address (everything else I had was paperless 🤦🏻*♀️😂) so I expect to hear back a few days after people who did them right away!


Definitely, and I tried to remind myself there is so much support! And we can support each other so I’m glad we have this forum for before we start ☺️ yeah I think when you’re really ready for a change that helps loads. Ahh good, I was paperless as well with my bank statement so had to get some posted

Yes start date offered for 10th September!! I’m booked onto the lunchtime live stream event, hoping we will get a lot of our questions answered then ☺️ looking forward to meeting you all

Hi, have you had a formal offer? I'm internal HMRC. I haven't heard anything since my initial acceptance, although I'm aware I won't need to provide the same info as an external. I'm wondering when the PECs will be complete.

Hey, I haven’t had my formal offer yet. They updated my application on CS jobs yesterday to say they are reviewing the outcome of my PECs and will get back to me. Hopefully that means formal offers coming soon 🤞🏻

I had the same notification come through yesterday- also my DBS came too. Hopefully we should get further updates by Weds the latest! 🤗
Have you had your salary
confirmed yet? Haven't heard back since sending my payslips

Amazing! I hope we do, also intrigued to have our feedback from the assessment centre 😅 I haven’t no, I did see on the main forum that someone had but I haven’t heard back either

Congratulations on passing your PECs! My portal still says "We're finalising all documentation regarding your application.
You'll be contacted shortly to advise what will happen next". I'm not sure if this the same message I had when I accepted or if it has changed 😕. I'm sure it will be fine, but I can't help but feeling nervous!

Overall it was positive, much better than what I thought. I am my own worst critic, so it’s given me a confidence boost. The areas of improvement I agreed with and I am glad that I have that awareness going forward. What about you? ☺️

Aww good I’m so glad! It’s nice to be pleasantly surprised isn’t it ☺️ I am exactly the same, it’s good they give you such detailed feedback going into the job so you know where you can improve, I thought I completely messed up the roleplay but judging by the feedback it was my strongest one 😅

Congratulations! I had an email yesterday asking to confirm which government department I work in and when I started. I also haven’t had confirmation of salary yet, not sure if anyone else is in the same boat

I got the same email yesterday, though my salary confirmation came through on Thursday last week. Not sure if the email means that it might take a little longer for us to get our formal offers

I’m glad I’m not the only one!! I was thinking this and hoping it’s not the case 😢 where did your salary confirmation come from?
