the IT folks should be in very high demand due to them knowing the systematic regulatory concepts I guess

does anyone know in the recent past how long MAS will take to respond back after the first interview? Also how many rounds are there typically for interview for mid career role? Thank you!

I heard the turnover rate is high , anyone can share abit more on what is the reason and is it still good to join now?

Was a good place, but no longer. Work hard and ot with low manpower since so many have left for greener pastures.

Turnover rate is high everywhere not only here to be fair.

It's not really that high yet, but your life can be the best or the worst depending on the department you join. Some depts really just do saikang only, not much transferable skills if you wanna leave MAS one day.

The perk I guess is a generally stable job. But this doesn't mean that they won't work you to the bone. Really is heng suay. But nowadays more chance of suay than heng.

I'm not the commenter who provided the initial comment on MAS' internal issues/turnover, but using high turnover everywhere is not a good reason to justify an organization's inability to address the internal issues within/high departure.

Hiding behind the "great resignation" trend or "saying elsewhere also like that" etcetc. isn't the way to deal with problems. From some of the comments, there seem to be a "sidestepping of issue" culture as well. No wonder so much complaints/turnover as issues are not addressed.

From the past responses could be between 4 - 8 weeks.

Regulatory compliance? How much do the majority gets involved at all in making regulations? Not sure if a junior staff knows much. Quick scan on linkedin shows many ex mas end up in various roles outside. Those roles dont seem like a 30% pay increment. I would say MAS is at best a good stepping stone
