Why did you switch to business analyst? So how long have you been working since graduation?
I have been in the same engineering industry.

sadly, I am a third class engineering grad....
I had 2 years of work experience.
It was a norm to see job openings in Job Bank with a salary of $2500, LOL ，even saw a post of $2200 for a graduate this week.

Thus looking into jobs in public sector.
Anyone knows if it is possible for a 3rd class graduate to enter BCA/LTA/HDB/PUB.
If possible do share about the interviews and work environments.
What should I write for the expected salary?

As a hiring manager, 3rd class really is not favoured. Even less than a degree without honours.

Reason? Normally, only 10% of degrees awarded will be of 3rd class.

Without honours normally means that the course is not direct honours. I have not encounter any non honours degree from a degree with honours classification. For degrees with optional honours, a person would not take up honours unless he/she is confident of at least a 2nd upper.

So, a 3rd class is like telling the employer you are academically the bottom 10%.

Your math and logical reasoning is blowing my mind. "Third class hons is worse than no hons." No, the workload of an hons deg is higher than that of no hons. How are you actually a hiring manager? my goodness
