Clearance and rank are 2 different things. DX4 or DX3 can have access to secret docs also if they have CAT1A.

i dont think anyone who joins will get 8.5k immediately, unless they 'downgrade' from their previous job and mindef is willing to give maximum. then you have to be prepared not to have any increment for years until you decide to get a DX12 post.

huh so if we join at a certain grade but touching ceiling, we won't be able to get annual increment?

yup. ceiling is there for a reason. every 'rank' has their own maximum budget for a certain job role. I thought this is also common in private sector? If no ceiling, I could stay on for 20 years in the same rank and hit 10k+ easily doing the same job. who would allow that lol.

I've known ppl who performed too well in early years who got high merit increment yearly but hit ceiling and didn't promote. salary stuck for 4 years at least until he was due for promotion. he/she is a military personnel though, not a DXO. but I think the same policy is the same as DXOs.

some units wont interview if they dont pass the basic G50... depend on unit profile.

these days, some CV departments have announced to shrink, and try reduce hiring, its getting harder and likely to rotate the internal staffers rather than to hire external.

and the screening is very stringent these days. 85 applicants, shave down to the final 3-5 to choose... in the end, all 5 was rejected because of their profiles either dont match the job scope, or their ns records are bad, or screening not to the liking for the hiring unit.

buts its really tough these days.
