Issue 1: Feeling Underpaid
I got hired for technical IT role, but under MX scheme. We work with govtech counterpart doing same job. I recently learnt counterpart got 50% higher base pay....
Issue 2: Under-evaluated
In performance review with RO, he noted my performance is exceptional - best amongst all newcomers. Despite double-hatting appts & OT-ing many days, performance grade will be 'C' as this is default grade for newbie - he said cannot fight for upgrade even though he feels I deserve higher.
Issue 3: Empty promises and no estab
Got hired under SGUNITED contract, new offered contract will only be 1-year extension. Although RO say likely will be perm in the future, is he just stringing me along? He also say suggested potential switch to mgmt track in a few years to come, but not sure if this is just say-say to keep me hanging also.
Should I leave or should I be satisfied with where I am?

If you are as good as you described, you should leave as you are underpaid
