Run while you can
 

PSA: if you want to have a normal work-life balance, don't even consider Procurement.

concur with the poster above...procurement folks in dsta look so stressed and angry all the time. Staffing is constantly changing due to many quitting

What is the average annual increment for engineer in dsta? Not referring to promotion increment

Hi, can I check if DSTA follows the grading such as MX 13,MX12 etc just like other SB and ministries for its procurement sept?

if you are considering an offer from procurement, pls be advised to think very carefully before accepting it. the job scope and work tempo may be very different than what you imagine it to be.

other than the high workload and stressful culture mentioned by others, do also remember that dsta is an engineering and technology focused org, and engineers will naturally be valued more over procurement staff.

I just describe to my wife about this issue and my wife goes "dsta" is company that buy supplies and sell ah? Why so many procurement...

Their main business is not defense science and technology ah

defense acquisition also part of dsta's job mah...just that instead of supplies, dsta procures military equipment

Explain to her that equipment and software are needed to perform science and create technology?

other industry also have a lot of procurement

i thought mx grade is only for ministry? or is it stat board aso follow mx grading system...
