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.

IT staff got MAC(about 2.3mth)?

MPA also offered me, I had work experience in the industry prior but was also offered similar range of 3.5-4k. I took up the offer. Yes there's some additional bonus but still cant compare with industry total annual package anayway. The increment is low too but its standard across statboard (3% max depending on performance usually u get C grade). Culture wise unfortunately was toxic where I was in, where workload is high for younger/newer officers as projects were like thrown down from the top. The most free people are those sitting at the top in my dept (Asst director and above), they earn much more, but are the bullies at the same time. I do not recommend joining MPA.

Between unemployment and bullies, I choose bullies.

As least you are getting paid.

And can continue looking for jobs.
