Is it now the case that HR mostly give fresh grad engineer a 1 year contract?

Yup. IT is moving to this trend. Contract first then convert to perm if really can perform.

I am applying as a fresh grad. The JD didn't state that it is a contract role. Later on I was offered the role as a 1 year direct contract, which was quite a surprise to me.

Just accept lor. Contract or not doesn't matter. Benefits is the same.

Except few years down the road ur leave still 14 days if u are contract while perm staff will grow after every few years.

But contract also got benefits. U got more bargain power for increment after a year.
Provided u are good enough for the company to retain you.
Perm staff increment is like peanut only.

Or u can request to convert to perm if your performance is accepted by your manager .
BTW I am a contract also haha

Looking through LinkedIn and trying to decide whether to join. Noticed that there are directors and AVP, Senior manager. What is the difference in terms of the job grade? HR mentioned that

M6 - SVP
M5- VP

But below that, how does director or AVP or Senior manager map to the M grade?

What is the normal pay range for M2 role?
Is it considered team lead/principal engineer role?

Was offered E6 < 1 year ago, 5k

InfoComm

E6 position, offer me 5k salary. No shares, was told initial my salary will be only around 4.6k+ but due to policy change they converted the yearly “aws” into monthly payment to inflate the pay to look good and pace the Govt sector

ST Veteran here:

E5 = Entry level - 3.3k - 4.5k
E5.5 = Sr Engineer 4k - 5.2k
E6 = Team Lead 4.4k - 6k
M1 = Managerial level (Bottom of Food Chain) 4.8k -6.5k
M2 = 6.5k - 7.8k
M3 = 7k - 9k
M4 = 8.5k - Not sure liao

Ex-ST or current ST laojiaos please come and validate!

Above range applies to STE, STK only. For STM, and Aero, the PB is very different.
Also, in between each level is about 2 to 3 years of wait before the next promotion...

Got E5.5 one meh??
