Upz for good post.
One should decide to join specialise civil service or private sector with a long term view and match base on desire for job security, career progression and glass ceiling.
It is silly to be so hung up over starting pay, what honors class, got
NS or not, this are small matters over the long term.

SIA is just another pte sector, you can always hop ard to other companies. Starting pay will be low, less job security, but unlike CPIB you will not be stuck at some 9k ceiling at retirement. Really depend on what you want in life.
BTW pay for SIA senior managers is public info, you can check out in their governance discolsure, all are >$1m annual pay + >$0.4M share bonus IIRC, so definitely in a totally different league compared to CPIB in terms of pay ceiling. But of course whether you can reach that level is another story...
