Moving from a non-finance & trading role back to bank isn't easy especially in the current climate. Apart from the inclination to 'serve' my nation, I'm a decent paper pusher as well and my skill is valued in MAS. They are also very open to mid career switch, which is a good thing.

Intend to give it a try for a few good years before deciding whether it's a good place to stay. Not everything is about pay I feel. If it is about prospect, i would just stay in my current role. Besides, MAS does have competitive salary.

Culture in MAS is very much boss dependent I heard.
