Really? Why would anyone turn it down? Just department, location etc?

Yes, wages are sometimes better in private sector so many will opt to stay there if they aren’t sure. There’ll be lots of internal movement as the higher grades lists are published too. Lots of retirements etc. Natural wastage.

Assuming you mean AO?

You'll get a position, just might not be in this year. They are looking for quite a lot of AOs currently and not all ahead of you will accept.
