Completed online certification.

Will joining govtech be possible? Do they take in new /mid career folks without data science ot com science degree?

I would say there is a slight possibility, if you are open to starting from an entry-level salary scale and if your online certification is comparable to a full degree programme. If you are expecting a mid-career salary scale, don't think you should have your hopes up.

The HR just invite the same few people to talk about process related stuff during the orientation. When you email them for help, they just forward your email to other HR saying that it is not handled by them and then the last HR person receiving the forwarded email also ended up not answering the question. In the end, I emailed a bunch of people to finally found 1 person that can answer my query.

One would think that a government organization would be standardized across teams and functions but honestly, no. Govtech grows so quickly and every team becomes scattered. People don't know what other people are doing. Teams that build tools or modularised components thinking other teams would be using them but nope. Nobody using them. Every team rebuilding stuff to support their own project. Even non-tech functions like HR. So many teams and not sure what the other team is doing so when they receive a query, they just randomly pass it to another team.

Does anyone else feel that the progression is a bit slow if you join Govtech as a fresh grad? In the most ideal situation that you get promoted every year, it takes 3 years to go from Associate to finally no longer an associate. But how often do people get promoted every year? If you are not promoted every year, won't you lag behind your peers who are promoted out of associate/junior position after 1-2 years? If you only managed to get promoted every 2 years, then you will only get out of associate after 6 years and by that time, your peers in other company already reach senior. Isn't this kind of bad for our career progression?

How long do you expect yourself to be in Grade K/DD Grade? In 10 years time?
then what about the next 20+ years till u retire? CE/Govtech or PS/SNDGO?

This is a govt SB!!!! and the progression is determined.. unless u r a scholar, even a scholar took at least 10 years to reach director level.

Also the title meant nothing but the pay, u can call me a cleaner but I earning 10k/mth. if you want title, u can go to banks and the most junior staff are called Assistant Vice president :P

anyways, the grades are always pegged back to the MX scheme...

D-E-F - AM - MX13/12
G-H - Mgr - MX11/11a
-I-J - Snr Mgr/AD - MX11a/10
-K - DD - MX10/9
