This is so true. I proposed getting softwares to do automated analysis. The department head rejected the proposal, say no budget and don't waste human capital, use eyes to check. Then my appraisal states "no improvement to workflow".

It was only during my notice period they realise every customer is asking for the automated analysis. They tried to get me to stay (just say only, no offer new package or anything) but I told them no thanks.

hi all. i have been working in STE for 7 years. in the first year my pay was $3.1-3.3k. my pay now is between $5.3-5.6k. taking the difference over the past 7 years, my average increment every year is about $300+. started at E5, now E6.

is this considered average, or no?

below avg if compared to other places

this is a waste of time if you are a degree holder. in govt, you would be earning at least 1k more for sure.

Quite lucky compared to some stingy divisions.

you work 7 year only jump 1 rank, you think normal or not?

Join ST with 3.5k left after 6 months.
Job hop every 2 years, after 4 years hit 5k liao.

Not bad liao lah. The average is about $200 per year based on $1000 increment for every 5 years.

i suppose if u look at it that way, then the issue is with the individual has quite a avg career so far

what is E5 and E6 salary range?

mid 3 to high 5

how long does e5 get promoted to e6 on average?

you suck cock 1.5-2 year, you nv suck can go 5-10 yr

How is ST I infosec ?

Good to join ?

all ST is by and large should be similar

How much does st offer for salary package for 3 years of experience as a cyber engineer

i got offered e6 high 5k plus 500 oscp cert incentive

now they want oscpnbecause without that they cant get jobs

Did they tell you the bonus will be a rough gauge if 1 or 2 months ?

no lei, but people in the office tell me not to expect much bonus and increment. i heard the previous yr got pay freeze.

to be honest in my department, you dun need oscp to get job, all the job is from mindef and dsta.

you also dun need OSCP, as long as you have clearance, you will be throw alot of host config review....

OSCP got extra $500$

Extra 500 nia

If it is monthly worth it leh

you are better off learning your craft elsewhere that can uplevel you faster

yeah, it monthly and there also compensation to other certification topup. there a list of cert that you can get to add money to your monthly salary.

However even with the money compensation, the whole environment in my current department is too slack and the people here is not motivated to do anything.

This my dream job.

Slack and do nothing.

What you waiting for?

Like this if complete all, can have additional how much a month?

You think can complete all meh, oscp on my department ppl do 2 yr also dun have

Obviously they are not the right fit le 2yrs HTB everyday still can’t get if put in effort really cmi

TBH, they did not even try cos they nv even buy the course. Every meeting just say doing self study and planning to buy soon.

Anyway, if no certification, the boss will just as you to do admin work only, so to most ppl is free money and relax.

should do it like saf. fail ippt and get default crappy grade. likewise if cannot attain certification within certain time limit, default straight improvement plan

Ya lor not fair to those working hard to achieve required competencies to meet demands.

Just curious, what other certs will they recognise for the certification allowance? I’ve the OSCP, $500 per month extra for the cert seems like a decent deal.

Tiagong cissp also have

Isc2, isaca, offsec, Crest and Cisco decent cert will have. Those lower end de ccna, oswp and etc dun have lor.

If you have oscp and clearance, not hard to get in lo.

They want so many OSCP for what ? hacking?

get the tender .

OSCP can get tender ?

Or need convert to crest ?
