Alright, but its very closely govt linked, its almost considered as govt by some people so i am not sure it can be considered as true private.
but the HR said theres no scale given and everything is performance based, wonder how true is that? |
My FASS friends tend to earn crap pay, some are working selling noodles, while some become shop supervisors, some are at citibank selling credit cards. Your best bet is to be a teacher. Even Art lecturers earn less than other lecturers from more hardcore faculties.

lols but i am getting quite a few good offers lah, it doesnt really matter the degree you have. representing uni and sg in a few international summits have enhanced my CV so *most* companies will pay more attention to that :) and i guess the reason why i am chosen for these is because i am from FASS :)
no interest in teaching though so i'll skip that :) |

i would take it if i were you esp since they're willing to train you in a field completely unrelated to your degree. |

When I graduated in 2011, I accepted a job which paid below the market rate and regretted it. I quit less than a year later because I do not relish the though of losing money every month. It is my fault that I did not do market research before accepting the offer. So I advise you to do your own career research and not just rely on what people say. Check out the career pages of some government organizations which include salary information (not all of them quote starting salary figures). I have since secured a job in the public sector which pays what I am worth. Listed below is the approximate starting salary in public sector for male local (NUS/NTU/SMU) grads with NS. The figures vary among the various stat boards and Ministries, but will not be drastically different. Pass degree - $ 3100 Pass (Merit) - $ 3300 Honours III / IIB - $ 3400 - $ 3500 Honours IIA - $ 3600 Honours I - $ 3800 (Above, With NS) (Without NS will be around $ 350 - 400 lower than the above figures) |
I hope the public sector is shoring up its hiring cos good pay masters in private sector like banks aren't hiring much. Some are firing, in fact.

Now, as for your career prospect, what kind of role are you offered at the govt agency? Is it the kind that does not give you new skills? If the non-govt one is going to help you specialise in a certain way, you should definitely go for it, considering that your bg is in English. If you don't mind staying in the civil/public service forever, you may not need to consider this point. But if you want to go out to the private sector one day, you certainly wouldn't want to be seen as someone who only knows how to write. You want some other selling points from the years of experience in the public sector. Does that job give you this edge? |
