Only pay 3.5k. you do all the work.
I get the profit from game sales.
If can't deliver the game at the end of 1 year.

You will be fired.

Default Earning $3.2K at MCI

I'm an NUS FCH graduate that recently started work in February at MCI with a gross monthly salary of $3.2K. I know that the 75th percentile has a median salary of $3.9K in my course. I accepted the job because I thought COVID affected the job market and I should just snatch whatever I get, since I'm a really risk-averse guy.

Can someone please advise on whether I should make the attempt to jump ship now? I was going to stick it out for 1 year and then leave, but a person I know in MSF who works as an AD says there's no need to wait, I should jump ship now. I enjoy what I do and I really am grateful for this job, but I'm scared the longer I wait, the more my career will be affected.

Would really, really appreciate any advice. Should I at least attempt to interview at other ministries? I don't know whether jumping ship in just 3-4 months is a really bad look that will also haunt me wherever I go, but I also do need the pay as I'm supporting not just my family but my grandparents.

Thanks!

Sounds like a fellow brother struggling with the “IO scheme”.

As long as you’ve completed the contractual obligations, no one’s gonna fault you for jumping ship. What’s the notice period for resignation in your dept? Better check with HR, mine is 6-months, this can dampen your job-application for other career choices.

Is your course relevant to your job scope? If low starting pay due to covid, then jumping to other ministries won't help?
