I am a NUS grad with a 2:2, and have been practising in one of the big 4 local law firms here for about 1 year. I am drawing close to 7k salary with 24 days AL.

What kind of salary range or pay cut should I expect if I apply for CAG? Am concerned about my 2:2 because I understand that govt / GLCs/ stat boards put a lot of emphasis on classes of honors.

wow.. $7k pm??

Then go ahead n apply la. Since u r so high calibre also a plus point is u r NUS grad. CAG will consider u definately.

Their bonus is really fat. But u need to have good academic qualifications and work experiences. Know of someone inside, dun even have relevant experience, but parachute inside sitting in high post cos of he is a local grad and worked in many Statboards/CS before. What a joke right?

Your colorful private sector experience doesnt really count to them. They wan "YES MAN" only.

from what is said so far looks like CAG pays the same level as banking sector...

Hi guys. Im glad i found a forum discussing about career prospects in CAG. Im 28yrs old this year and currently a junior officer working in one of the uniformed organisation (under MHA) with 7 years of working experience. Im also holding a pass degree from PSB Academy. I took up studies in the field of sports science as its my area of academic interest, although Im well aware it has nothing to with my current employment or CAG. Currently drawing a gross salary of 3.6k. Im set for a career change in a whole new different environment and I had been interested in joining CAG, preferably under aviation security or other operation-related dept (e.g. airside operation).

What do you guys think of my chances of even securing at least an Associate position, considering my 7 years of working experience in a uniformed organisation and holding a pte degree.

And since we are in the topic, anyone knows what is the salary range for Associate/Snr Associate?

(Of course, being in the working field for quite a while now, I know the importance of always having a Plan B in life. If my plan doesnt work out, im considering to become a Senior Officer in other uniformed organisation which I opined should be relatively achievable considering my uniformed background although im holding a pte degree. FYI, certain civil service org has gotten quite lax in their recruitment. I know of a few senior officers holding a degree from other pte instituitions like SMF/MDIS).

The key question is are you able to convince CAG that your experience in MHA is relevant and also whether CAG can find value in your skillset. To me talking about years of exp, join as associate or pay level is irrelevant if you cannot even clear the CV stage.

Generally CAG is one of the more progressive GLC and have higher standards of recruitment than most stat boards, so unless you really dazzle them with your CV, it is unlikely they will bother with a private degree grad who only has uniform group experience so far. Most of their Associates are 2nd lower honors & above from proper local universities.
