549x (cant rmb last digit) before promotion. First career. PGDE + Local research masters sponsored by MOE, subject related to CS1.

Received one big fat MI for a B grade in one of the non-promotion years. It was about +210. That's why I'm surprised at the small MIs nowadays for good performance grades.

Possible leh. I'm v close to 5.5k. This is my 4th year teaching. 2019 PGDE batch. I was the one who posted my promotion to GEO4 with grade A earlier.

CS claims that salaries are pegged to certain private sector benchmarks in order to be competitive. Don't detract from the main point.

Nobody joins teaching (or the many other important jobs that pay stupidly low) for BIG bucks, but workload and responsibility levels have to be equitably compensated for.
