In between my 8 years, I did part time Master too.

I got promoted thrice during 8 years even though I achieved the highest grade every year.
Sadly, my salary didnt even hit 6K after 8 years.

Left healthcare in 2019, got a 30% increment.
PLEASE don't joined healthcare if you are looking for money...unless u r joining as a doctor.

hey there, I'm interested to know which sector you joined! was your prior experience useful in negotiating for a higher salary?

We tried to make ourselves heard during the annual employee engagement survey and town halls, but only gotten patronising replies from the higher ups.

So for those wants to join healthcare sector, pls think very carefully. I have seen many people left over the years.

Same sentiments. Left healthcare after 2 years. You really need to have passion for the industry to stay/last long.

Does a B grade admin gets the same amount of bonus as B grade AHP? Why I'm asking cos I'm a AHP and am thinking of switching to admin side.

If I’m not wrong, AHP has its own salary range/range. But suspect it wouldn’t differ much.

I'm a AHP so my figures are only just a rough guide. Executive should be JG 11 or 12. Prior to salary adjustment last year, the salary range for JG 11 is $2300 to $4740, JG 12 is $3100 to $5620. Not sure what is the new range after the adjustment.

For my department, those who resigned joined other hospitals, some went to do insurance, tele-med, private sector, teaching etc..

Was offered the range you mentioned 8 years ago (w/NS).

You can ask for more, whether you got the bargaining power and whether they’ll budge is another story.

Like someone mentioned here, healthcare pay is generally lower.
