Annual increment 100 - 200 dollars.

VERY PRO work life balance. Essentially you do not have to do much. But ZERO career progression; honest.

Good luck
that is quite sad to know... but at least i know nus is recession proof and hopefully, i can go somewhere to be a safety manager after 3-4 yrs there....

coz like what a forumer above said, technical skills are basically useless and i have cut-throat colleagues in my current workplace... :(:(:(

oh well, at least nus is nearer my place than tuas....

don't think nus is looking for talents with the salary they paying for executives... but then again, heard that nus is very stable and hopefully no cut throat colleagues like what im having here....:(

Are u sure NUS does not have AWS ? NUS is a statutory board. It ought to have.

if u want a safe, stable, clean environment, go to nus. but most prob will have quite a bit of paper work as compare to ur current company. do u need to manage alot of people and do u like managing people?
think about it

I'm not from your pharma industry, so take it as a casual comment from a salaried worker.

1) do not leave for lower pay unless your current position is made redundant or is UNBEARABLE. It's like taking two steps back!

2) NUS is not exactly a commercial institution, ie., it does not exist for profit, your pay is not going to go up much further without promotion!

3) Private Sector companies are always much more well regarded by prospective hiring managers and head hunters.


Be patient, your next opening will come sooner than you think.

but transport allowance is not really part of my package isn't it? everyone in my company gets it (same amount somemore)... even the most junior staffs (diploma or ITE grads), even upper management gets it... my base is still $3.2k...

or should I really include my transport allowance?

my current job has ALOT of paperwork.... GMP is tedious and a pain in the a**!

yah, i will need to manage some junior technologist under my current position which will be the first time doing managerial work... so i guess it will look better on my resume?

500 transport allowance is actually a fair bit considering you are not in a sales related role?

Take note that those lab techs in NUS, NTU are usually old timers > 30 years working there. Not sure what management are you going to be talking about.

Agreed. The transport allowance is a luxury considering it being a non-sales position.
