How many years of working experience do you have at 8k? Assuming 16-17 months package, your annual salary is $128-$136k which is very high when compared to the outside world. Civil servants like to fantasize about the pte sector where they think everyone earns a high salary. Truth is, the high paying jobs are in the MNCs where you have to compete with FTs and other expats from the company's home country who are parachuted (and rightly so) into the management roles.

If you can't make the cut in your cushy civil service job, what makes you think you can so easily jump into the pte sector? Also, pte sector rarely hires "out of touch" civil servants.....
