A friend was formally assigned by RAV to apply for a job. They got an interview, but the verbal offer was vague: salary wasn’t clearly stated but was said to be below average for the field, some training to be handled informally by the employer (I’m guessing Einarbeitungszuschüsse, but they don’t actually need it, they have enough knowledge and experience). I’d rather keep other details vague on purpose. They have a bad feeling and don’t want to proceed, but worry about sanctions since it was assigned by RAV. Does a verbal offer with no signed contract still count as a formal offer? Does below-average pay affect whether the job counts as “suitable”? What actually counts as a valid reason to decline? Better to talk with the RAV counselor before declining, rather than after? Would appreciate any first-hand experience with this, thanks! submitted by /u/Amadeus404
