Wow. Seemed like quite "unprofessional" for HTX hr to update the status as shortlisted (should be "in progress" instead) only to become unsuccessful later on without a chance at interview.

What do you expect from the public sector.

Brain dead people working everywhere. That's why no private sector people would want to hire public sector people.

I don't know if there's such a thing as lowballing but I'm also NUS FCH (male though) and I was offered 3.7k at another ministry

If you're not comp Sci. You are not worth 5k

Hi all,

I'm a history graduate in NUS who is intending to join the public sector when I graduate. I've recently received an offer for 2.6k in a stat board. Is this very low?
