The AO grading back in 09. not sure if it's the same now:

Grade
1/1a/1b - exec
2a/2b - senior exec
3/4 - asst manager / deputy manager

expect a pay based on honours and ns. back in 05 i came in with 2.8k with 1st class and NS. not sure why SIA ranked so high on uni students most desirable companies to join list back then.

of course there are the free travel tickets and generous bonuses.

oh, and SIA is a co where titles still mean something, ie a manager is a real departmental manager with at least 2 more layers of reports.

it takes donkey years to progress to an AM (~5 years is considered quite high flying, known fact for many old timers to still be execs after ~10 years), so you will start feeling sorry for yourself once you start comparing with your friends in banking with a fancy AVP/VP titles a few years down the road.

Thanks for sharing.

What if I am not fresh...say about 4 years working experience...which level will I probably end up?
Just a bit unsure as I am AM right now...wondering does this application consider as a downgrade for me. Haha.

Not a fresh grad but still have to take essay writing test during interview nia.
So stringent.

yes the whole test takes about 3hrs and is siong! i did it twice before.

i guess you should go in at 1b.. how much they offering?

[blueodyssey]

Unsure.
But somehow I guess I need to take a pay cut if I want to join them.

Going for the test next week.

I did similar test with SIA Cargo last time. Indeed siong.
It's been ages since I write an essay.

Any idea what kind of topics do they give?

should be the same as the whole SIA group used the same test. i did the test when i joined sats when it was still part of the group and later again with Silkair when i wanted to move but kenna blocked by my then boss.

[blueodyssey]

I see.
What kinda of topics are asked usually?

Can anyone share hows the prospect in SIA?
Will it be kinda stagnant?

for SIAEC

senior about 4k.

Asst manager about 4.5-5k.

bonus is below market rate for aviation 1.5-2mths. quite bad compared to other aviation companies like pratt and RR but other benefits are good and very stable job.

but note the long notice period. makes it hard to find job when you wanna move on.
