im actually not surprised if mx holders do manage to catch up or overtake eventually, although the geo scheme has been traditionally known to be "premium" or "specialist"

Person claimed that they are MX12 (eq. to GEO3/4) and just a "farmer" a couple of posts back. Maybe person can clarify what "special" scheme they are in.

Then again, if you are both 2 year in service, and graduated from NUS, your EO friend would still be in NIE having completed Contract teaching. GEO2(UT) salary is quite stagnant throughout this period. Their next major increment would be GEO2(T) which should see your salaries start matching up and even more so at GEO3 which was given a major boost during salary revision.

All these... either you're not making a fair comparison and trying to rile up unhappy sentiments on a platform where you know teachers are reading or you're just a troll who is just **** at producing fake data.

Don't know why you're getting so worked up.

It's precisely because I was surprised that I was earning more than my teacher friend that I decided to post here.

Also, to be clear, I'm on the generic MX scheme in a more 'high-profile' ministry.

EO is a specialised scheme, but what specialised means in this case is that salary progression is structured differently from generic schemes. "specialised" doesn't guarantee higher salary than "generic".

While EOs usually have better salary progression than MXOs in MOE, they don't necessarily have better salary progression than all MXOs in the civil service.

When will we know how much is our connect plan payout? Due to receive it this yr

What is the allowance given for GEO5s who are in the first year of SH? I heard about it.

Any tips to excel as SH? (Going to become a new SH next year). TIA!

You left out contract teaching. Common these days to do contract teaching for a year, followed by 1.5 years of PGDE.

Thw MX fellow would have already worked for 2.5 years, and gotten the cohort MX13 to MX12 promotion at the 1 year mark. Meanwhile the GEO is still GEO2 untrained.

The point about GEO having good booster is irrelevant, because MX too had the same rate of increment, and in addition, they had their increment earlier.

It's on Intranet. Search "Responsibility Allowance". Latest information should all be there.
