wat were u doing before switching over?

That's because you came in 2017 with a higher starting pay. Increment from GEO2 to GEO 3 also higher

How much annual increment for geo 4?

Hi all, just wanna ask how significant of a paycut for a mid-career switcher. Am currently 38, drawing 7.3k in the civil service. Looking to switch over to a career in teaching.

40% paycut approx

You may be paid max 4.5k if they value your prior experience. Otherwise, expect fresh grad pay according to degree class

Does movement policy within civil service apply if switching over to teaching?

I believe it's a case by case basis for mid-careers. I was paid 5.4k starting salary, construction industry, mid 30s.

How do MOE post teachers for their first posting? I am always told that it is based on distance and manpower requirements but somehow when I search for zonal directors/cluster supt/director in MOE HQ they always come from some renowned school that are at least quite good in their academics. Assuming they are all scholars (maybe minimum teaching scholar, not very sure), was wondering whether is it really based on distance or are there some hidden considerations that come with teacher's first posting?

for mopex they might be able to match...maybe at most just slight paycut

I wonder too. When you cross from one ministry to another, does your 'long service award' continue or got reset at the new ministry?
