I dun think a AD in public sector is senior at all. Most public sector unit recruit fresh degree graduates straight away as either Manager or AD.

This Amy Cheong must be a low performer because she is 30++ already when she join NTUC as AD. Since she is female and foreigner no need to serve NS, by right she should be AD by ~26 yrs old.

NTUC no choice but to play along. if they tell the truth that Amy is just a junior staff, the public will accuse them for cover up , better for them to pretend with the act. but anyone who work with gov before know how “big” a AD really is.

AD pay is just 4-6k, that's the pay of jr associate in pte companies, bullsheet title.

What are the Benefits in IDA?

d

Not much, $100 per month for so called telecoms and $50 per month for flexi benefits.
The usual IHP clinics.
You also need to pay an insurance premium for yourself.

Assistant Manager - G7 & G8

Manager/Consultant - G9 & G10

Senior Manager/Senior Consultant - G11

Assistant Director - G12

Deputy Director - G13

Director - G14

Yes that is true. They rule the place.
Constantly update to big boss to show doing work. A lot of boot licking, don't know anything also can, when boss around, just try to talk louder.

Just saw one guy just under 5 years, jump 2 grades (non-scholar) to management track. So long as the boss like you, you will climb regardless. Some more, this guy, time to time, you can see him snoozing off in his chair, playing games, watching online videos.

whats a management track there?

Management track starts from AD upwards. Most times, it is a difficult jump from SM to AD due to this, really depends on the soft factors e.g. boss likes you, visibility to senior level management.

It would be more helpful to indicate salary range e.g. AD G12 how much?, Director G14 - $ X-Y?

what is the range for a G9? 5k to 7k?

Yeah, it is about there

Hi all !

May i check the career prospect in IDA and the salary range for 2nd upper and lower?

Are they commanding the same pay as DSTA ? Since it is on the engineer scheme too.

How's the work hour and other flexible benefits ?

Thank you !

PS: From DSTA thread

salary for fresh graduate engineer that came in this month:

with ns
1st class = 4270
2nd upper = 3970
2nd lower = 3770

Up for awareness !

uppppppppppppppppp

Latedge correct
 

Can some kind soul verify it?

Currently I'm a Year 4 undergrad and my expected graduation date should be in May 2014. Would it be a little kiasu to start applying to DSTA as their application process take quite long as mentioned by several forumers.

Last but not least, what is the pay scale of IDA for fresh grad? Does she pay the same amount as DSTA? And how's the prospect between working in IDA and DSTA?
IDA seem more like a consultant role and DSTA seems like a more technical role.

What's the range for Senior Manager G11 and AD G12?

SM 10-14k
AD 14-20k

This is not true.

SM G11 < 10k.
AD G12 is ard 10k.

Just applied online for a job opening directly via IDA's portal last week.
But yet to hear any reply from their HR
any idea how long they usually take to get back to the applicant?

This is definitely not true as the salary range for a G13 DD is only 8-15K.

What's the pay range for Consultant and Senior Consultant in IDA?

How long they took to reply is an indication of the work culture of Ida.

Curious
 

Hi, I would like to know more about the culture. Is it pro-family? Do people slogged like nuts? I'm recently shortlisted for an AM position, is it the lowest being in IDA? Will I get trampled all over and kena all sorts of sai gang?

AM is usually e lowest for degree post in IDA, even though there are other title such as research analyst eg...

get trampled? it all depends on your deptarment etc... guess not only in IDA but true for all places.

Hi guys,

Can i check in IDA the lowest "rank" for a fresh graduate is consultant, executive or others?

I'm applying a consultant job and may i check what is the pay that i will be expecting? Is IDA a good place to start my career? I don't see myself as a very technical person i hope IDA isn't some hardcore programming agency.

Is the benefits and bonus at IDA good?
 

Hi,

May I know if:

1. the grading system at IDA is the same as other govt agencies. ie. MSO & MX scheme?

2. the variable bonus paid by IDA to employees good? Or follows civil service?

3. the employee benefits good?

4. Annual leave for the various employment grades?

5. the performance appraisal system is tedious?

6. working hours?

7. the people at IDA are nice?

Thanks.

Manager, early 40, $8k per mth gross. (not including bonus).

What does it mean to say that one is a scholar or non-scholar? By scholar, does it mean that someone who has graduated from a local uni?

Someone posted in another thread: (seems Mgr max is $6,160?)

Job grade: MX11
Job title: Manager, Assistant Director
Pay scale: S$4,100 – S$6,160 / S$6,161 – S$7,190

Job grade: MX12
Job title: Assistant Manager, Manager
Pay scale: S$2,550 – S$5,130

Ida is a stat board and doesnt use MX scheme.

It's not true.

stupid lah, limpei worked there, so i know it is not MX scheme. even got hp/internet allowance. pantry got julie biscuits, nescafe vending.

Maybe I am misreading... but how much does an assistant manager (fresh grad with second upper) get in IDA?

How about the bonus?

I notice IDA seems to have 2 types of job titles (career tracks?): managers and consultants.

So managers and senior managers are in management track doing project management, contract, procurement, recruitment and vendor management?

And consultants and senior consultants are in technical track doing the engineering work?

In term of compensation, are management track paid better than technical track in IDA with same experience?

Some questions:

what is the typical timeframe to get AD and/or DD at IDA? How much does Senior mgr, AD, DD expect to get per month? roughly...

How is the career progression like in IDA? Senior manager is considered senior executive?

This was valid as of jan 2012.

There have been two revisions in feb 2012 and aug 2014.

I'm thinking of applying to IDA too. Does anyone know what's the ceiling of manager's and senior manager's pay?

I heard that getting AD and DD in IDA isn't that easy. However, getting to senior manager is almost guaranteed.

Yah they don't follow MX scheme. Their scheme is better.

Are you still working there?
