the last heard DSTA 1st class/ns engineering getting 5-5.3k starting.....
STK....maybe 3.8k..

5 years down the road, even with average performance, the dsta guy should be getting 6.5-7k min, whereas the ST guy, maybe 5k max...


see the difference
Well, the difference is in the talent pool again. DSTA hires all Singaporeans only. ST Engineering can hire non-Singaporeans on top of Singaporeans. So of course DSTA has to pay more because they need to hire from a smaller pool of people. If I am ST, why should I pay more when I can hire cheaper Indian and China IT people? ST is profit-driven, DSTA is taking from taxpayers. Y'all need to think more macro and more like like employers...
