ProMotion from E5 to E6 usually within 2-4 years.
Subsequent performance depends on pre-sales ability. Winning tenders and participating in tenders have better recognition than successfully delivering projects. There are a lot of engineers stucked at E6 at 50 years old.

The only work experience they would pay above market rate is experience in leading a uniform service unit. ST in general pays below market rate, below the 25th percentile. Your only hope of getting a salary increment from job hopping is that your previous company pays similar scale or even lower than ST.

Increment usually 1-5%, unless your dept boss willing to write in for recommendation for merit increment which can range between 3-10%. Bonus also between 1 to 3.5 months. Those whom are on contract, has 1 month less bonus than perm staff. Those switching from contract to perm will usually have 0 increment on their new contract.

previous poster talking about hardware roles? software roles typically promote e5 to e6 in 2-3 years nowdays and e6 to m1 in about 4 years? top performers have more than 5% of increment and double digit percent for promotions.

What I said is true for being a good performer from e5. It is true HR counts wearing a uniform daily to work as relevant experience though, especially for m2 and above roles. defence contracts are cash cows and they do it so often to mask kickbacks

What is the increment % for the different bands?

2 to 4 years for promotion is already very good. Because my former division played favourites, whoever is not in the pet team can expect a promotion between 5-7 years on average, longer if too many M1/2s around. The only exception I saw are those exceptional (clever) in solving issues.

Stone age company. Dare to offer me job with significant paycut for 'new international office'. Cannot promise any career trajectory. Hear culture inside is rotten to the core.

Just a rant post:

I really don’t like how some managers think they big shot and then go around demanding others to sacrifice their personal time to settle work because they incapable. Best joke: the manager is from a different division so should not even boss people around.

Any tricks on handling such bitches? Especially the aunties one

Similar experience before.

PM: I don't care if the whole team needs to come back on the weekends to finish up everything. I want it by Sunday night.

Same PM: I'm not free this weekend, I'm going JB.

What happens if whole team don't come back? Fire you?

When he depends on u to do the work so that he can keep his job, u're the one with leverage over him, not the other way round
