Stay for 1-2 years get some exp is OK, but once >3years it becomes very hard to transit to pte sector w/o pay cut because you will be drawing AM pay by then, but HR experience still stuck at entry level. |
Now working as Global Mobility Analyst in a regional bank, 5,500 monthly + 200 hp allowance.
Although the pay is good I regret & want to get out soon cause expats are very demanding and much harder to manage than normal employees. =( 3 years generalist & 1 year mobility exp, can someone advise if it’s possible to get an entry HRBP role? |

Also, anyone been in HR in civil service more than 4-5 years? How has your experience been (ie: easy to climb up the grade MX12 to MX11)? Experience gained? |

It does not matter if you are doing training, talent, C&B or generalist, the policies & directions will come down from PMO and your role is basically to execute & file necessary reports. Even my boss 3 levels up (a Senior Director Head of HR) had very limited flexibility to change what was given to her. Pros: 1) Work life balance beside peak period 2) Higher starting salary 3) Not much problem solving needed, just execute and ensure compliance 4) Stable, for a non-scholar degree as long as you don’t screw up big time, should be able to retire as Dy Director at MX10 (current salary cap $10400) Cons: 1) Hard to move to pte sector once you are inside for too long as pte sector HR requires more flexibility, innovation & problem solving experience 2) Salary progression will start to lag behind pte sector peers after 6+years 3) Ceiling is very low, average non-scholars stop at MX10, high performers stop at MX9. A lot of high performing pte HR can already reach MX9 equivalent by early to mid 30s 4) No possibility of regional / global experience, i.e. experience will be limited only to Singapore 5) Prepare to spend more time writing reports than doing HR In short, a lot of it really depends on what you want out of your career. You want work life balance and relatively simple jobs with decent pay go for civil service. If you want to go for professional development and serious exposure, go private. If you want to go back pte sector, make sure you do so within 3 years. Once you stay too long, a lateral transfer becomes very difficult without job demotion. |
This actually sounds attractive.
I currently am in a high risk industry (investment bank). My wife is also in a high risk industry (broker). I have asked her to give up her career and look for a proper 8-5 job. Considering that she has a good class of honors, I have recommended her to choose a civil service career path. Good perks for childcare and maternity benefits. Stability and less stress. Although our household income will drop, I think this arrangement will be better in the long run. Anyone who have gone through such a path, I'm interested to hear your comments. Quote:

The reason he give was there is too much salary negotiation when making offer and too many last minute changes from the training plan he was administering. I learn that when MITA making offer is a fix thing no need to negotiate and whatever is the training plan is set at the start of the year will be followed to the last dot. He found the need to constantly manage expectation of candidates, line manager and dealing with all the daily questions from employees too troublesome. He told me in MITA is straight forward, top down instruction just follow, no room for people to keep negotiating and changing depending on business needs. So it seems there is a lot of difference between civil service and commercial HR. |

Calm/slow/smooth river flow to describe civil service. Private sector would be like the stormy pacific ocean. |
Depend on individual, work definitely slacker and more brain dead. But personally I have no intention of limiting my career to just MX9 or 10 thats why I left shortly.
So far it has worked out better than expected for me. Quote:
