dont wanna sound rude, but the fact that u were rejected so many times for DXO means most likely u wont be a DXO this life. or u lack the qualities that the interviewers are seeking for

Hi bro , its okay. As long as you try , nothing is really impossible , have faith and dont think so negatively. Even if in the end , i cant be a dxo , life isnt that bad too. Sometimes life can really give you a surprise. Just keep learning and upgrading yourself. But nonetheless , thanks for the reply bro!

Ya being a DXO is not the only path.

Why would people wanna be DXO anyway, unless they are really interested in defence or want to enjoy the slack DXO life (as NSmen/former NSFs, you know what I mean...). Can still apply for public service jobs elsewhere if its the latter.

My camp all DXOs even DX8 and above go home on time. Those in CMPB maybe not lah, but those work in camp one swee swee arrive on time go back on time. Not all hardcore workers lah.

As an NSF that is what I noticed too. I think private sector people have it harder than public sector in general of course. And out of alot of public service agencies, we know which ones are among the slowest in process...... (hint hint).

Yes i agree with you. I am also in the healthcare sector and I regret shortchanging myself. Underpaid, micromanagement, the list can go on. I've declined 5 jobs till date since the start of this year. I've just gotten a call from them to consider the pay range and if im keen (after site preview). I am just wondering what are the cons of a SEA and since its a non dip position? I am 1 year away from dip completion thou. As much as I want to leave a toxic environment, would rather know how the other place be like.

What does an dxea do? Any cons to share of?

Hi, I have decline about 5 jobs till far as the jobs kinda shortchange me paying me less. I work in the healthcare sector and I am already underpaid based on the experience and qualification I hold. I would like to know what are the cons of an dxea and the pays scale ? I intend to pursue my degree only in 2020 .

Hello

I have applied for a Managerial position (so far worked in 4 years corporate job after graduation), does anyone knows what's the pay range like for manager role?

Also, I'm going PT in 3 weeks time (that's their earliest slot!!), can anybody share hows the whole process like and what should I prepare?
After the completion of PT, in most normal circumstances, how long will the rest of the steps take (ie. face to face interview, unit preview, offer)?

Im concurrently applying for another job and I prefer DXO over the other one so I just dont want to end up with the situation if I get another job offer while DXO application is still in the process.

Cheers!
