Hello TS,
I feel you are doing quite well with 2.3k starting pay. I've seen some of my
NUS friends getting 2k starting.
I am a fresh
SMU grad working in one of the government ministries. There are a few SIM grads working in my department. I am getting ard 3.4k and i m pretty sure we all get around the same amount.
Point to note though, Stat boards are considered the public service and tends to pay better.
