Any kind soul can advise or share?

Any interesting openings at MPA????

I really regretted joining MPA. My job description did not include operations.

The work life balance is ****, considering being 24/7 on standby for duty. Spending weekends and public holiday at POCC. It’s just underpaid and not regarded well.

Kinda hard to find a new job for not having any achievements in MPA.

I completed the interview and was asked to provide details of my referee.
After providing details of the referee, i talked to the hr and found out the salary range was about 3.5k to 4k.
I was shocked because it was below what i expected.

Is this normal or did I get lowballed?

I really like this job and would prefer to take it but it is disheartening when i have other jobs offerering me more than 5k?

Do I have any chances of being able to negotiate for a better package?

Hi,

Based on what I know for mpa, they pay higher for PhD because it's relevant for some of their jobs.
