NUS (National University of Singapore)

EP3 is not 8-12k, this was the range some years back. The current range is more like 9k+ to 13k.

Comparison to MX8/9 is also not fair as total package is significantly different. MX8/9 total package is usually ~20 months whereas Grade 2/1 normally goes for 15-16 months only. Also selected positions in MX8/9 level are entitled to special bonuses on top of the normal publicize ones that can potentially add another 2-3 months on top of 20 months.

Generally speaking a NUS Director is much more lower responsibility than a ministry Director, so it is only fair the government pays the latter higher bonus. Even then we are talking about paying 250-350k p.a. in total to administrative department heads in an institute of higher learning. I think it is very generous and comparable to most private sector unless we are talking about global banks and top MNCs.

would anyone know what is the range for E5 jobs?

how about E4?

hi i just got a job as Executive Professional Grade 6 as a recent grad..

is this a dead end job for me?

like i am not even sure if this is what i wanna do in the long run.

Not too sure if I can switch out next time and if my experience working in the uni will count as a professional experience.

Read this whole forum thread carefully from start to end - NUS admin isn't a place to start your career, its a place to go when you are in the next phase of your life, and prioritize life outside work instead. It is the opposite of a dynamic, challenging and innovative environment. And once you get used to such a place, it will be difficult to go work somewhere else since the culture shock will be too great.

You might not know what you wana do in the long run, but I can safely assure you that working in NUS admin side isn't it. Maybe when you are 50 plus, and you want to take it easy and drop a few gears after working hard your whole career, consider NUS.

Can you share the bonus structure? How many months of bonus for an average performer?
