Honestly, just don't take what you heard here as the truth.

Some people may just be butthurt and want to stir.

Take it with a pinch of salt, but my understanding is that the package is standard 5k. Heard from a friend in the previous June (2021) batch that their starting was 5k too (honestly, if NUS Comp only gets 5k, what makes you think you deserve more?).

Also, to the person who commented about it being hardstuck 5k twice, did you get kicked out after a year? If you have nothing constructive to add, you know what to do la hor. If you had gotten the offer you would have known that they did not mention that there's no salary increment.
