The key differences in culture between the public and the pte sector, IMO are the bureaucratic processes and the assessment of ppl. Many other posters have pointed this out correctly. Public servants, even those that serve as technical specialists tend spend a large portion of their time dealing with paper writing and holding meetings to get projects or project related decisions approved. It is not uncommon for people to spend more time dealing with bureaucracy in a project rather than working on the project itself. I believe this is a major factor when people complain about how "slow" government agencies are. Due to the bureaucratic system, there is also a large emphasis on one's ability to deal with such things in assessment of potential. If you're a good engineer but poor at writing papers, chances are you'll have a lower ceiling than someone who is a a mediocre engineer but good paper pusher. Not that I'm saying this is wrong. Indeed a good engineer may not make a good manager and vice versa. However in the case of public service, much of these paper work deal with issues that exclusive and unique to the sector which you will not encounter outside. These are the reasons why people who have spent too many years in the public sector finds it difficult to switch to the pte sector, and why there is this "stigma" associated with a long working history in government agencies. An engineer with 5yrs' experience in the public sector vs another candidate with 5yrs in the pte sector, the former is less developed in his core area (engineering stuff) compared to the latter. A hiring manager will thus make the right decision and hire the latter. |

The main thing is about difference in priorities: objective vs follow protocol mentality. GE for e.g. is famous for being bureaucratic, but that doesn't mean their culture is anywhere close to public sector. In fact they are very performance driven and manage poor performers out actively. |

Career Progression in DSO and DSTA
Hi Guys,
I understand that DSTA is considered a statboard/civil service work that goes by MX scheme while DSO is a corporation, which I am unsure about its career progression. Anyone care to share the career progression in this 2 different organisation? Both starting pay seems to be same or similar, however is its other remunerative benefits/bonuses and its career progression same as well? Like the total annual salary is around 16 months including bonuses, and other flexible cash/insurance/medical benefits? And yearly increment of 5% in your monthly salary? Thanks if anyone could provide more details especially for the career in the long run, which will be better in a sense? |

DSTA and DSO recently revised their starting pay for fresh grads. 2nd upper would give you 4.2k basic. |

2nd lower with NS's starting pay is at 3800.

Quote:
1st class = 4600 2nd upper = 4200 2nd lower = 3800 ? |

Went for an interview last week and was told that they would get back to me in 4 weeks. Is that the current norm for DSTA? I've read through this thread and it seems the general consensus is that they will get back to u within 2 weeks. Also, if you didn't get the job, will they inform u as well?

DSTA Estate Senior Officer
Anyone knows whats the job like as an estate officer? And pay scale as well!
|
I was informed that hr will get back in 2 weeks and indeed got an offer exactly at the end of 2 weeks. This was for an Engineering role.
|
Based on current pay, an average performing engineer at end of CEP (after 25 years of service), will be earning $15k pm.
But believe this will be adjusted upwards over time to keep pace with inflation. Quote:

DD level are not for average engineers lah. There are only a few DD appointments available and you have to "survive" the competition and stress to reach that level. On the other hand, there are many senior PE positions.

Recent intake for fresh graduates in technical role are being offered 3.6-4.5k. Do you happen to know the latest salary range at each salary grade from grade 6? The respective job title tag to whichever grade would be helpful too. Thanks. |

In general, if you have no criminal records, bad credit, or shady family members, the clearance process should be quite standard. Medical usually quite fast if you have no serious medical conditions. |

I was asked to complete the g50 clearance so does this mean I am offered the job?

It's been 3 weeks since the interview. Should I assume that I have failed to get an offer? Is it DSTA practice to inform candidates even if they've failed?
