Working in NEA

There is really no need to talk about progression as a diploma in public sector.

Yup that's the real world. All the bull about career planning, appraisal, job fit etc doesn't apply to low level staff. Just keep quiet, do what you're told to do at work, and be happy about getting that pay every month.

NEA enginner recruits are usually for freshies / <3 years exp. You went for a written test correct?

That is why your 4k expt is too high, they only budget for freshie pay. 3.6k max.

Firstly, all govt agencies have a formula for calculating salary.
with your 2.2, a fresh grad will be getting around 3k for males.
assuming your 4 years of exp is not relevant to NEA, they will add around 100 per year of non relevant exp.

that works out to around 3.5k.
there is no negotiation with govt agencies.
you are better off staying with your current coy.

Hey, if you ask so much re info on workscope progression, at least be willing to share on the range offered. as this is salary.sg website. if u not willing to share, why should anyone bother to share with you more?

Ministries are already paying 3.5k for 2:2 with NS (2012 data).
Probably can add a few hundred and work from there lor. the HR probably got spooked by the 4k figure. A 3.7 or 3.8 might be more realistic.

hi
can you tell me which ministries are paying 3.5k for a 2nd lower?
you are referring to the MX scheme right? and not some specialist scheme like intelligence or economist.

Just general info from MOE (teacher), MHA (Home Affairs Executive - civilian) etc website.
Civil service and stat board salary is standard across the board so it should be more or less around the same ball park.

3.5k is for 2:2 guys with ns.
Minus away $300+/- for ladies and those ppl without ns.
