No doubt, I have no qualms about civil servants earning how much they do. Some are deserving and some are not, much like the pte sector.
Reality check:
Some guy here mentioned that as a "run of the mill uni grad with decent honors and part of the CS rank and file" he earned $120k at 32 years old.. almost unheard of in the pte sector!(disclaimer: excludes IB, consultancy, professionals like lawyers, doctors, etc)
