civil servant salary scales
Maybe someone can help me with this.
I was recently offered a post as an operations manager at a school. I'm contemplating as to whether i should accept the offer as the offer is like 20% lower than what i am getting now.
The offer is about 39600 annually inclusive of AWS, performance bonus and mid year bonus.
The gross being 2700.
I have 12 years working experience and am a diploma holder. I wonder if the offer they have given me is fair, considering the pay cut that i'll have to take.
Thank you in advance for your replies.

It's a stable job - almost guaranteed for life unless you screw up badly.
You may also enjoy the environment with all young people running around. School holidays will be super relaxed. Nasty parents may be hard to deal with, but I don't think an ops manager will have a lot of contact time with parents.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not so worried about the work. More worried about the pay cut.
Just wondering if its a fair offer.

Then you have to decide for yourself whether the better environment / stability is worth the pay cut.
Whether it's a "fair" offer is highly subjective.

Are you still comfortable financially even after the pay cut? If so, then it's nothing to worry about. Take it as a form of career change.
I have a lady friend who took a 30% pay cut to join the civil service. Her reason? She just wanted to have a more stable environment, a better work-life balance and out of the ratrace.

Generally agree, but be careful - some civil service jobs are extremely stressful and people work long hours just because their managers stay late.

I understand now.
I'm just wondering why they offer ex- SPF/ SAF personnel their last drawn pay for the same post. They get around 3k based on what i was told.
