Year end bonus will revise down one. Mid year is not indicative of the true picture.

This is true for most private sector jobs you get into the right company and role.

Some people will argue that civil service is stable and you dont have to worry about retrenchment in your 30s to 50s.

My personal opinion is not to start off at civil service when you are young. Your earning potential is the greatest from 20s to 40 yrs old.

It is important take some risks and not be fearful of retrenchment.

My company pays well but is always restructuring. Redundancy package is also good.

Bro if too high then opposition will say now ordinary citizen austerity Liao, you civil servant still dare to 0.5 mth in such a grim outlook?

If you put at 0.3 mth then the civil servant not happy.
0.4 to 0.45 is optimal.

Say got decreased growth, but still confident of future.

Very well thought out.

Just to further clarify. If a person resign in first week of July , and last day of service is 2 August, will he/she be eligible for mid-year bonus?

No. The person needs to stay one month after the payment. The only exception is the person leaving due to retirement or alike. Those who resign within one month after payment or dismissed will not receive.

There are so many super scalers. Each company has one MD right? You should compare MD with PS. Entry level superscalers should be compared with department head. Eg VP of Marketing, VP of Sales etc.

Best job is non-head super scalers. Those "2Director", "Senior Advisor", "Senior DD". Remuneration vs responsibility really mismatch.
