Hi, I've just completed my PhD recently. Right now I'm contemplating on staying in the academia as a research postdoc or to move into civil service which ensures better job stability (hopefully!).
May I know what's the expected salary range in civil service for a person with a PhD, 1st class hons degree from local university, and a university scholar? Ideally I would prefer to stay in academia, but it will be a path filled with uncertainties (where research is concerned). Moreover it's getting increasingly difficult to secure an academic position in Singapore. Would it be as tough to climb up the corporate ladder in civil service?
Any info or advice will be greatly appreciated.
