Mobile Allowance: 100$
No AWS (13th month), only have Civil Servant Bonus and Perf Bonus: around 2 months combined, according to HR.
Contract: 2 years contract.

Should I take?

Got 7 years of IT consulting related experiences, currently drawing $8,200 base monthly (Perm not contract role) with only 1 month Variable Bonus in private sector annually. It's like taking 1000$ paycut every month if I accept HTX offer. But I cannot tank my current coy management now, hence I applied HTX 2 months ago. I tried to nego for 7.5k flat but HTX rejected. They say $7,200 is already stretching their max budget for this grade (XT6) already.

Do you feel I am being lowballed? And can I know what is the pay range for XT6 in HTX for 7 years of related IT experiences. And why they cannot offer me XT7 grade with 7 years of related experiences?

Any laojiao in HTX can help to provide some insight? Thank you.

Doesn't sound like a good deal. Your peers at HTX with 7 years exp will likely be higher rank than you and earning more.

yup forget it. lowballed

most govt job now offer 2 years contract. i believe your contract will state if performance acceptable will be emplaced to perm. not sure about the success rate of conversion though as i am still on my first year of contract but from the stories i heard it is quite easy to get converted though. but lets not count our horses thought and i will say by 1st year you need to start looking around see what are the jobs available though if they do not continue your contract. Any season HTX here willing to share on stories of people not getting emplaced?

Hi thanks for replying. However, isn't 5% increment the base for C?
Haha so even if promoted after 1 year mark still 5%? Aish shag

XT6 ceiling is close to 9k. So stretching their max is nonsense. And 7 years exp currently people are getting XT7. I was offered XT6 when I has 7 years exp. Still XT6 now with 10 years exp, although promoting this year. People that joined recently with 6 years exp also given XT7 (cos wife inside HTX is also XT7, don't want the husband to feel inferior maybe?). HR is a freaking mess.

Whats the salary range for head? As in XT9?

they offer you 7.2k starting for XT6 with 7 years exp. i was offered less than 5k starting for xt6 3 years ago with 8yrs exp and currently still xt6 haven't even hit 6k. So do what you will with that info.
