funny how they can give a max budget but not a minimum budget.

as oper told by the job agency, this is a position which will be servicing for the project & support for government institutes...really curious about the working environment and working pressure

Perhaps around 4k for your position. For a permanent position, it's not too bad. You will get 13th month bonus + average 2 month variable bonus.

What everyone is saying is true. NCS is a budget company. Most people only spend a few years there then jump ship for a better salary.

anyone here can advise which IT company in SG pays the best?

choose microsoft, apple, ibm....

pay good doesn't mean prospects and work life is good....

hmnnn..the job agency told me different thing
there is no contractual/13th month salary...but there will be performance/variable bonus which ranges from 0-3 month...the position i've applied is a senior position...if the job offer is sgd4k only, then most likely i will pass out this position as it does not worth the efforts spent for relocation

sgd 4k, 14k, 40k forever not enuff for the average person living in singapore.

pls giv up this position to assist high unemployment rate of fresh graduates looking for permanent positions with a good headstart in their careers.

No point moving to SG if this country couldn't provide me the shelter I need....Neither I would want to spoil the market :-D

What a pig who can only think of these. Shallow...

I was from NCS in managerial position.

If what you have applied for is a senior position as a specialist, not a programmer, and not a PM, then S$4K+ is the reasonable expectation. If you do well as contract, you'll have a chance to be converted to permanent staff after 1 year.

But as previous poster has mentioned, you have to ask whether you will be working from client's place or from NCSHub, because working at client's place means less benefits and it will also be difficult for you to nail down your lodging location. You'll also have to content with reporting to the client's PM in addition to your own (a nightmare).
