not yet, awaiting offer still at the nego phrase

then dont need to think tok much, your boss will explain to you

H or I, depending on years of relevant exp. 6 to 8 years exp should be H, 8 to 10 years exp should be I.

Lead Cybersecurity Engineer is what grade, saw quite a few posting for lead and required experience only put "At least 5 years of work experience"

Lead is Grade J, the reason of why minimum 5 years is for grade G if you cannot make it for J, HR can still offer u G..

This guideline a bit loose.
I was G, but mapped to MX12

What is your current role & salary?

How big exactly is the pay range within a grade?

I am grade G (3YOE) currently drawing 7.8k.

Wondering how hard is it to jump to the next grade.

wow. you must be godlike to make grade G in just 3 years

i made grade H with 5YOE, 8.4k, but i'm the youngest by far. most people only make it to H after 7 years.

what is your role and responsibilities btw?

So many gods here so scary

Received email saying no performance review needed cause joined after 1st Oct’21.
Means no bonus no salary review?

default grade
and next year prorated

tyvm, can i take it that default is C(+/-)?

does the grade also include agency contract staff? that is those employed through agent,no direct govtech.

contract is different

default c etc thingy is for perm staff who follow the cycle

SWE within HIVE.

Leading one of the projects within team, but largely still an individual contributor (i.e I do not manage team)

Default C thingy applies to direct Govtech contract, those joined after October?

7k per month considered god. This speaks volumes on the caliber and salary of the respondents. :o

3 yoe 7.8k pretty solid above average I would say

lol means i get lowballed? i grade g only 6.4k... should i nego with hr?

How much did you request in the first place?

Hence my question earlier regarding the pay range. Seems like it's rather broad range.

I actually took a pay cut though to join, was drawing 8.4k previously at a less-than-desirable MNC, and HR told me that was a little high and unable to match.

But since there's 13mths min, I decided to accept it the offer.

SWE vs PM are 2 different tracks and u already got a 30% - 40% jump isn't it?

in a norm, a person who came in as Grade D will need to take at least 5 years to promote to H... meaning promoting every year while the standard norm will be at least 2 appraisal cycles or a minimum of 2 years...

it also highly dependant on the last drawn to determine the grades too..

Are you saying, one year promote one year is an exception rather than the norm? And that normally it's 2 years then promote one time?

Usually la, but may be longer than 2 too

Omgosh... even for D-> E -> F? These are more junior levels right? What will you recommend a junior like me to do if I want to promote faster?

I am a ghost in gov tech office. Beware if u are working late 👻👻👻👻

Go above and beyond, raise your hand for everything! /s

What’s your grade now?

If your are talking about cap center, juniors possibly promote every year… G-H too… but after that u will stagnant, Grade I is the first RO Grade…

Imagine GDS have only 300-400 (engineers, UX, DM) people…the ratio of juniors, main stay, lead, n mgmt are all well defined… not to mention the spread of tribe too..

not the same person, but I am E, how long will i need to G/H? under TAP

Your ex-comp got aws, bonus? May be GT calc by annual package?

No wonder ppl complaint HQ got highest pay, promotion rate compare to service center folks.

No smoke without fire I guess

to be fair, only CAP Center and is only max 400+ vs SVC 1.6k staffs most of the juniors in Cap Center... except MOM and MOE....

SVC usually don take anybody lower than Grade G, but now starting to take Grade E/F for BA cos lack of people..

so to be fair, lower grade promotions are sure faster vs those G & H ma....

for example 50 D fighting to promote vs 500 Grade G fighting to promote...

you are in TAP, so likely very fast? 3 years?

Grade D, going to start soon. Fresh Grad.

Sorry what's CAP center and SVC?

At the junior grades D > E > F > G, time norm to promote is 1 year. If you don't get promoted even after 2 years, you are behind the time norm (aka below average performer) and you should be looking for a new job to avoid stagnating.
