I am just curious about pay range for a female fresh grad joining DXO.

Hi first time here, been a lurker for a while, i am 35 M , NUS 2nd upper with a PhD, recently just left my job.

was thinking of joining the public service and thought of MINDEF as i felt that defence is very crucial to SG

I recently applied to DIS expressing interest to be a senior MIE, did my MAPAS test, and submitted a G50 questionnaire ( weird that this happens before any interviews?),

would MINDEF look at last drawn? how do they calibrate the salary of mid-career( kinda mid) switches like this? Any idea? if so, whats a good salary increment to ask for? Thanks in advance!

sorry i dont have many friends to ask around, so im hoping to get some clarity as i am also applying to other roles(also govt related), and this application is taking ages...

Some applicants are security cleared before interviews.
It depends on the job.
Last drawn salary is a starting point to be considered along with
relevant experience.
You need to be patient as the latest data shows a waiting time
of at least 2 months from interview to job offer.

Hi Thanks for the reply! yes i think its going to be beyond 2 months, i just received the medical check up, i see a component OCS FFI, does it mean i have to go through OCS at 35? and im PES C, with a nagging back pain, how is that possible

Anyone else at the security clearance stage and pending to be cleared….? Been about a month for me since submitted G50. Hoping it won’t be long till HR contacted the final offer.

Those with jobs who applied now, if you're successful you'll probably start working in Nov/Dec or even next year lol

Assuming 5-6 months recruitment period + 2-3 months notice period.

Hahaha.. bro, do you know that you also need to clear IPPT right every year at least a pass. OCS FFI - If you did not went through OCS before during your NSF days then likely you still have to go through senior officer course. You PES C also can do other suitable physical activities de...

i think IPPT ok la, been exempted, but i believe can train up, pass should be no issue, yea i didnt go through OCS hahaha, senior officer course is different from OCS that the NSFs go through right?
