Can fresh grad negotiate for higher starting pay in stat board?
Hi, I'm a female fresh graduate from NUS. I did my Honours and graduated with a second upper. I have a job offer from a stat board, the starting pay is $3150. Is this the standard starting pay for a fresh grad seeking employment in a stat board? I'm really excited to start work and am enthusiastic about the job scope.
However I also get the impression that some of the other ministries pay higher starting pay. Is it a good idea to attempt to negotiate for higher starting pay, although I am a fresh grad? I have a good CCA record, have gone for exchange programmes, have good O level and A level results. |
No. Unless you have something unique or special that they have identified and so die-die must have you, otherwise its quite fixed according to your honours class.

All fresh degree grad (with totally ZERO working exp) have ZERO negotiating power to ministry or statboard, they will pay you accordingly to you class of honours or/and with NS if applicable.
can reveal what statboard? if cannot can at least reveal in statboard is under which ministry? Thank you |
Before you take up the job, are the job skills generic? High starting pay, however there may not be a road ahead with generic skills.
People who then move to private sector will then offer paycut. Just for consideration. |

i thought fresh grad have no negotiation power?
|
short answer, no
long answer, you can try, but they will tell you no. |
Wake up your idea. No bargaining power for fresh graduates basically. HR will have fixed starting salaries for different class of honors for different majors and roles.
Unless you really possess a special skillset or knowledge and this is the exact reason why they r hiring you. |
