Hi guys

I am currently working as an engineer in another stats drawing about $5.5k/mth ( class 2027 2:1 + NS)

After reading the thread I think I am severely underpaid compared to Dsta engineers.

I am keen in apply for the building & infra engineer in DSTA

Does anyone know how much the pay will be ? Since I will not be doing tech

Thanks !

2017 you mean, so about 4 to 5 years exp. You likely join as senior enginerr, annual pau likely to be 120k to 150k i suppose.

Does Govtech pay more than DSTA for similar tech roles?

i would say its quite hard to give a generalized yes/no

but if i had to, i wld say GT pays better as a whole (note this only applies to HQ and certain teams in SVC) then you have the really so called top tier OGP which almost matches FAANG lo
l aside from RSU and all

$5.5K per month is around what DSTA fresh grad earns
