EP3 is not 8-12k, this was the range some years back. The current range is more like 9k+ to 13k.

Comparison to MX8/9 is also not fair as total package is significantly different. MX8/9 total package is usually ~20 months whereas Grade 2/1 normally goes for 15-16 months only. Also selected positions in MX8/9 level are entitled to special bonuses on top of the normal publicize ones that can potentially add another 2-3 months on top of 20 months.

Generally speaking a NUS Director is much more lower responsibility than a ministry Director, so it is only fair the government pays the latter higher bonus. Even then we are talking about paying 250-350k p.a. in total to administrative department heads in an institute of higher learning. I think it is very generous and comparable to most private sector unless we are talking about global banks and top MNCs.

would anyone know what is the range for E5 jobs?

how about E4?

hi i just got a job as Executive Professional Grade 6 as a recent grad..

is this a dead end job for me?

like i am not even sure if this is what i wanna do in the long run.

Not too sure if I can switch out next time and if my experience working in the uni will count as a professional experience.

Read this whole forum thread carefully from start to end - NUS admin isn't a place to start your career, its a place to go when you are in the next phase of your life, and prioritize life outside work instead. It is the opposite of a dynamic, challenging and innovative environment. And once you get used to such a place, it will be difficult to go work somewhere else since the culture shock will be too great.

You might not know what you wana do in the long run, but I can safely assure you that working in NUS admin side isn't it. Maybe when you are 50 plus, and you want to take it easy and drop a few gears after working hard your whole career, consider NUS.

I guess it is gone case for me then :(

Signed the contract

How much are you offered for the Executive position?

Hey I also signed with NUS after graduation - it's been a year since then and I'm happy here. It's not the end!!

Can you share the bonus structure? How many months of bonus for an average performer?

anyone knows the ballpark perf. bonus for EP3? 2 months?

Bonus Eligibility in NUS
 

If someone tenders in end December 2018 and bonus is given out in mid January 2019, will he or she still be awarded bonus given that the last physical day of work is in end January 2019?

Not all NUS Dept are lobo dept. Management Scale actually quite tough i heard.

does anyone have answer to this? curious to know too.

you know your stuff

what would be the typical PB for an avg performer in the EP3 band? 2 months?

Not sure about E3. For E5 it's slightly more than 2 months for avg but depend on dept.

does anyone have answer to this?

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive an offer after the last round of interview?

Fresh grad will go in as what grade?

What would be the market pay to ask for?

Anyone working in nus now or previously can share their experience?

How much should a fresh graduate ask?

Your degree is local or private? Can give estimated how much they offer you?

How much do they offer you? Private or local cert?

is this still the case?

SADs are never Grade 2?

Never. the Uni Remuneration Board would need to approve that and they never go up to that level.

anyone worked in uhc before? how is it like

Was offered 2.7k on fri for a comms role, 21 day leave, no aws and pb, only vb usually 0.2-0.4 months , 1 year contract role.

Feeling kinda low, not sure should take or not. reason quoted - covid period taking 10% cut from their usual range.

NUS 2nd upper FASS fresh grad here

that's really low

try stat boards

nus pays lower however their work culture are slow and steady...work life balance i guess. as forn starting pay you could try to nego higher. good luck!

the position u applied for,did it requires a degree?

the range quoted for me was 2500-2700, according to the hr in charge i was already getting the upper range. No room for negotiation according to him.

As sad as it sounds, but true.

Requirement: Bachelors Degree from either NUS, NTU, SMU or SIT for fresh grad.

They do require a degree. They also state they want someone with min 2 years experience so maybe I didn't fulfil that criteria hence the salary, I'm not sure actually. - J

Worked in NUS for about a year, HR told me bonus average 2, at least 1.5. Didn't get it though, was like 0.smth. Was a little disappointed.

okay la.im not doing better also. HR fresh grad here. Wanted to enter govt sector but so far not much luck for perm govt positions..

My first job after i grad with a hr degree was only 2k lol. The rate for fresh grad hr is around 2.3 (good case scenario) as hr dont really need a degree to be one. Most of us compete for positions that states:

-Requirements: "O level/grad diploma/a levels/ post grad/degree." Pay range starts around 1.9 to 2.5. 2.5 is the rare ones..

If the exact same position with the same duties and if its under stat board or lets say hospital and school etc,most likely is around 2.9 to 3.1 for fresh grad (totally no experience kind). Reason being, public sector will still segregate accordingly. U can find hr position that requires max o level cert and some will say minimally degree (same as the one u mentioned earlier).

I've been working on 3 contract position. 200x (private sector) jump to 230x (government sector) jump to 280x (government sector).


Lastly, a IT fresh grad pay would be a HR assistant manager/manager salary.

0.X average? care to share? Likewise was told by HR that normally averaging betweem 1-2 months. Was in NUS exec admin too, VB for 2019 for my end (biz sch) at 0.15 months with no AWS lol. Might as well don't give. My starting after grad with them was 2.8k, local NTU FCH grad in HR.

nus bonus avg is around 1.8 months (depending on economy) and payout on jan. aws is on dec.

I can't remember exactly how much but it was definitely less than 0.7. This was VB. I didn't have AWS. Joined mid 2018. So would have received half of that. Leave was slightly generous I must say, medical coverage is decent too. The good thing is cheap food on campus.

oh ya forgot to mention there are 3 scheme to NUS employment structure. non- academic (degree and non-degree holder) and academic (degree and above)

non-acad
- degree (Exec & Profersional): performance bonus avg 2 month and above. increment 100 and above. no aws. 21days leave
non degree (lab tech/specialisy associate) : bonus avg 1.8 months and above. increment 100 and above. got aws. 18 days leave

academic
- research asst, research fellow, lecturer: bonus avg 2 months. no aws.. more leave that exec
..

Got an offer from HR for a marketing exec. 1 Yr Contract.

Verbal offer by HOD 3.3k.
Final offer from HR 2.65k

21 day leave + VB, no AWS.

Really bad times.. even if they offer 2k, no choice but to accept
