In the end, pay lower than junior! Nice one...

This one cannot blame new joiners since all? on contract term, if got a better full time offer why don’t jump? If they want to retain why don’t they offer full time in the first place?

Normally can convert to perm right after 1year? If they got headcount + you perform good!

inflation play a part.


imagine back in 2012 fresh grad salary 3.8k and in 2021 is 5.5-5.7k
and let say the senior(2012) with 9 years experience now have a 5% salary increase every year, he will be drawing about 5.9k in 2022

they is why the senior salary and the junior salary are so close now, and the senior will feel intimidating (OS: Why I do so much more and paid abit more than junior only)

True, this one is comparison for those stayed at GovTech since joined as Fresh grad.
Those join from private sector HR will still asked for last payslip and offer from your last pay.

Thought Gov should take the lead to offer based on experience, not last pay.

this is exactly what happened. due to the tech boom, even traditonally non tech-focused firms like bank are hiring fresh grad techies en masse with higher salary offers. in order to compete, tech firms like govtech have to do the same for newcomers.

The diff? tech firms have more incumbents that will be dissatisfied when they see juniors with higher pay. tbh this retention issue is a fairly new problem.....

Yah and in this aspect govtech cannot compete with faang companies. they retain their middle talents with raw firepower and appreciating RSUs

which that said. junior with higher base salary will be harder to find job outside.
take 5.5k for example, with this salary to join any BIG 4 like EY, deloitte will be a "Senior Consultant" position. But dont think the junior will have the required experience to take up that role.

Not to compare with local SI where if u join them sure will have pay cut. if you start off with 5.5k for the first job.
