Yes, I have seen someone terminated after 1 year on the job over performance issues.

Can't do the job. Want that $.
Either leave or get fired.

This is how the world works.
Why Singaporean snowflakes think it is otherwise.

No wonder ppl have the delusion that civil servant are rice bowl job.

A sub-entry level car like a perodua bezza or mutsubishi attrage is probably possible too but not very comfortably.
Young meaning 30+? Alot of my more senior civil service colleagues (age 40+) live in a condo.

Must've been very serious as even lackluster performance will net you a C grade.

20plus and early 30s. Those who joined in the last few yrs fresh out of uni or relatively early in their career, to a generic MX scheme with a degree as a farmer.

Those in their 40s now had different opportunities. Just for example, $1-1.3mil would have gotten them a freehold condo in Marine Parade 10 yrs ago. Now you would have to pay $2-4mil for the same.

Default MCI $3.2K fresh grad

(Sorry, hope it's okay to repost across threads. Please let me know if it's not!)

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!
