good performer (not C grader) can expect about 5-7 months' bonuses in all, dependent also on the market conditions. MINDEF has always placed high emphasis on rewarding only DXOs who can perform, for your info.

Being in the system for more than 6 years, I offer a break down to the above 5-7 months bonus (using 2013 as an example):

Mid-yr bonus: 0.4 month (for all civil servants)
(See link: ://.psd.gov.sg/content/psd/en/media/press_release_6June2013.html)

End year bonus: 1.1 month (for all civil servants)
(See link: ://.psd.gov.sg/content/psd/en/media/press_release_21Nov2013.html)

13th month bonus: 1 month (for all civil servants)

That sums up to 2.5 month so far.

As for PB, it depends on your performance grade. An average performer usually gets about 1.5 - 2months.

A good performer can be getting from 2 - 2.75months (or more).. but I havent gotta that much.

Hence, putting all the market adjustment bonus apart, bonus is only about 4 - 5.25mths.. 5-7 months a bit too high.

As for the working environment, it really depends on you and your hiring organisation. Slack? Really depends. In my first and second posting (ground units), my average leave office timing is around 8-9pm. In such location, there are rarely anyone who could share your work load (which position was created with the responsibilities stated up front), and you are the only one who have been tasked to complete the work.

In my current position, i leave office on the dot.

For sharing.

Does DXO have a similar plan like the MOE teacher (CONNECT Plan Payouts) like every 4 years you can collect some money payout??

Hello there I have just applied for a nursing officer role at DXO. I have a diploma in nursing and intermediate management experience for the past 3 years (total work experience more than 6 years)

What is the salary range for nursing officer with similar experience like me? Does female stand slimmer chance in getting the position?

Yes. But the payout is not as attractive as MOE.

Possible for me to join as DXO? Executive (budget management & budget planning and mgt)

my background:
2013: used local diploma to join local polytechnic as a project officer drawing a mere $2150
2014: just completed my distance learning degree, will it be easier for me to transit to another state board/public sector? since I'm in one currently?

how much starting salary should list if i were to apply for it? pls advise, kinda loss of what i want to do. TIA

Your chances are extremely slim, when you pit yourself against some of the local uni graduates who even have difficulties getting into DXO service.

ya, i know the chances are slim. I mean it make sense lah, local grad always have an upper hand. I will just apply both private and public sector, and see which orgns call me up for interview.

However, if i were to try applying for DXO position, what would be a good salary starting point to indicate in the application form?
