Then there's tier 3 that's probably DBS, ST & the like. There's also gov or statboard jobs but those pay somewhere around tier 2, but with engineering culture from 3. Tier 1 should be paying 6-8k, tier 2, 5-7k.

The culture and pay varies from firm to firm, so hard to say conclusively. These things do matter though.. amount of OT, traveling distance, engineering culture, job scope, really affect the actual amount of hours you put into your job.
