-A fresh grad (gd honours, with NS) entering the intelligence service would likely draw a starting pay close to 4.5k, give and take 1k, if not mistaken.
-An economist (masters degree, with NS) would likely be drawing anything from 4.5k- 5k or possibly even more.
And don't even start on the elite Admin Service and their feeder MA scheme.... |
I'm not sure how it is but so far, it has been $3800 to $3900 for a first class honours engineering degree from
NUS/
NTU in jobs like
DSTA and
DSO.
If you really want a good starting pay and you have just a degree, $3900 is the starting pay for an engineer in the Singapore Navy. You can get even more if you get onto the C-scale.
