MAS for Mid Career Professionals

Salary package for AD2 has been discussed before in earlier threads, the ceiling may be up to 9k or so but where along the scale they offer you when you join is really based on their valuation of your experience!

What your current last drawn?

Pretty sure the ceiling for AD2 is more than 10k

Annual package for AD2, if divided monthly, is definitely far above 10K per month. The base alone can smell 10k le. I suspect that there may be some AD2s who join mid-career with above 10k in base monthly.

Hi, anyone knows how’s the culture like in Monetary and Domestic Markets Management?

Yes, you heard correctly; MDD is one of the departments where MAS scholars are usually posted to, and for good reason. The work is fast-paced, high-value and there's quite a bit of it, but on the plus side you get to work with and learn from smart, hardworking people.

That being said, MAS is rather egalitarian in that scholars and farmers are treated more equally based on performance, unlike other public agencies that automatically reserve higher CEP and performance grade quotas for scholars.

There are plenty of opportunities and experience is relevant to private sector, so it's also more like private sector workload, hours and progression than the typical "sit-around-do-nothing" perception of public service.

So,
If you are the ambitious driven type who likes a fast-paced environment, wants to prove yourself, get promoted quickly and maybe go private sector after, good.
If you are the chill slacker type who prioritises work-life balance, wants to sit around, do minimal work, go home on time every day, not good.

Depends on what you want.

Just curious. Other than MDD, which other departments do scholars usually get posted to?
