i went for IRAS panel interview last wk for a tax officer position (job posting states "open to any degree but law degree preferred"). 3 hours after interview, HR called me and said interview successful and that panel would like to offer. HR also asked me what's my expected salary but did not tell me how much i would be offered.
can someone tell me what should my expected salary be like for IRAS? am i regarded as a fresh grad or will my pupillage be regarded as working experience?
thank you so much in advance for your help! |
Hi I was in a very similar position to yours, save that I am male, I did not get a FCH, I joined another Stat board.
I got the sense that they did not regard my 2 years of pupillage as working experience, though they did not state it explicitly. I was offered $3.7k as a starting salary. With my
NS included I feel I should have pushed for $4k starting but I did not do so out of ignorance at the time.
Given that you have a FCH, but have not done
NS. I would ask for $4k or a little bit more if I were you. Good luck!
