DSTA (under Mindef)

engineer or not, only accept if you intend to stay here forever. scope of work here is very niche and not easily transferable to private sector, or even to other public agencies. will be difficult to move out without a pay cut if you only intend to hang around for short term

How many rounds of interview do they have?

enough said.

Yes agreed, it's a sign on job

Heard that DSTA engineer fresh grad pay is 5k pm. Any idea what is the progression and increment like? How long will it take to hit 10k pm? TQ.

Hi, for DSTA jobs which require CAT2A clearance by the vendor, are candidates who converted and now are Singaporean eligible? or totally cannot clear if not born Singaporean? Thanks

don't think you can get a definitive answer for this man. this sort of thing is not supposed to be public knowledge to start with

Is it worth to jump to somewhere like ST engineering?

doesn't seem like many positive things are being said about dsta. is the culture really that poor?

DSTA rejects every single application i submitted despite fulfilling the requirements.

Are they only looking for NTU and NUS grads?
