your starting pay will probably be between 3800+ to about 4k. recently just signed. estimated off my own contract. not sure if i have the relevant additional appointment pay or not.

and nope. MINDEF wont undercut you. you can put 2 dollars and you still will be offered the calculated pay. they have their own formula. and as a fresh grad. dont think you can nego. take whatever they give you. and its already higher than market rate.. so no need to nego also.
