I'm currently in a MX11A role in the civil service, the turnover in my role is relatively high, due to proximity to higher management (CEO and above). In 3 years, about 40% of my department has left for other roles. My main boss mostly lets me work flexibly, but I report to multiple bosses who keep stacking last minute 'CCA' work on me, which can be stressful as several tasks can coincide. Plus points are the job is stable (often hiring), I work 20mins from home, I have staff to delegate some of the easier 'CCAs', and it can be relaxed when I don't have any 'CCA' work.

I recently got a job offer to work at Singhealth as a 'Senior Manager' with a 5.5% increment and 8 days of additional leave. I initially interviewed for an 'Assistant Director' role, but HR was only willing to offer me SM. The role is also a contract job.

Is SM at Singhealth similar to MX11A or is HR lowballing my job grade? Would you 'downgrade' to a lower level organization in the 'food chain'?
