I applied under the community relations and engagement division. I might be offered to go HTX as well so I am contemplating but leaning more towards mccy. Do you happened to also apply for the same role?

Yes I'm a fresh graduate. They wanted me to start in May after graduation but I wanted a short break after graduating.

Hi! Monthly salary is $3,000. I've currently got FCH from my degree in NUS, but I found the salary quite low so I asked if it is possible to increase it slightly. But they said this was the standard salary for graduates here so I just accepted it as a backup plan. Hopefully increment will be better.

Are you a female? For males with NS probably will be higher. I have 1 year of exp graduate from a Social science degree from non-nus.

Yes I'm a female. And they said the 3k salary was standard for graduates, so yours should be higher since you have experience previously.

I think Covid year they lower the starting pay a little. Especially when MCCY is not an essential ministry.
