Pretty sure he might be just talking about the PB. Or maybe TAP has a different pay structure, idk.

TAP base salary already on super high side, on par with senior level, so 1.5x also a good deal already.

A PB of 1.5 months is typical for C/C+ grade, and it's considered lower end of the spectrum.

What's the bonus for private sector?

Went in early this year, but left after a few months.

10 yr working experience at the time of entry, but was offered G, 6.5k. Only when I entered, then I realized that I was very much lowballed, and my career progression wud lag by 1-2 grades even if there wud be salary adjustments, and hence moved on.

Pro tip - when asked for current salary, flat out refuse, and cite their very own Jo Teo's words. This one I did

Pro tip 2 - when asked for expected, try to refuse, or if cannot, just give a very high amount, in order for HR to assess ur package based purely on skills and competencies from the interviews. Otherwise, if it is lower than what they preliminarily assessed, i.e. what they expect, they may choose to bump down your grade just to match ur expected.
