If you join from other agencies in the public sector, usually they match your last drawn with the pay scale in MAS. If yr last drawn is within the AD range, they will give you AD. In most newly hired DD, you can expect the new entrants are from private sector as their last drawn are way higher than public sector.

Also, if you see position such as AD/DD, it also indicates tt the dept might have higher budget to hire a more senior role as compared to Associate/AD, where the latter might indicate tt the dept looking to hire a junior role. Even if offered AD, the pay might not be high and limited room to nego given the low budget the dept has.

Entry level DD (newly promoted) is around 9-10k, 10k is not the upper range.

Depends on yr department. I got 3% increment and 1 mth PB.

Usually which departments have lower bonus? Is it the support ones like Finance/HR?

Not sure which departments have the lowest. Usually, they look at total compensation package and ensure it is benchmark against the industry with similar job function.

Also, since we are still in covid, increment n bonus tend to be lower.

I didn't get any increment after probation. Understand that first increment for newbies is at first year anniversary.

No raise for me after probation. May I know you reach your first year anniversary in this year?
