The increment is less than that for sure, about 70-100 bucks

Which specialty makes the most in public and in private?

My son is considering medicine, but neither me nor wife are from medical schools.

nowadays no more percentage increments anymore.

is fixed quantum ..... means everyone in the same grade gets the same increment regardless of their starting salary.

only benefits those with lower starting pay

Singhealth still gives fixed quantum plus a certain percentage

If fixed quantum, better jump to CS or smth. Only the dregs will still want work in hospital

You don’t have to be dr for kid to study medicine lol.
You want him make money? Go banking or CS or aim for some non healthcare civil service scholarship

Took them long enough.

hi all. some urgent help needed.

I am working in SGH. 10 years of experience as an AHP, graduating with a degree dec 2022. Currently in Singhealth.
applied to a job under singhealth cluster, and got it.
however, because it is considered a lateral transfer, and i went into my current job as a dip grad, HR offered me based on my current JG. (JG11). which is even worse than a fresh grad (JG12).
i am a good performer - i have gotten performance awards twice in my 5 years with my current company, and also had good PR grading ('A' for past 3 years).
expressed my discontent, but HR said there is nothing she can do about it, even after speaking to the managers.

question is - should i take the job or not?


taking it seems like a disservice to myself. but private sector wont be able to offer what my new place has in terms of benefits, clinical exposure. my field is vv niche. so i feel so stuck atm.
