Currently working in private, 24 YO, F, about 3.8K gross.
In your application, did you:
1)already put your gross as 3.8k?
2)did you indicate your expected salary?

Also sometimes a good sensing willbe to chat the HR coordinator if how many candidates are being shortlisted for this role. This willbe helpful too.

Yea i did both on the careers@gov portal.
It was a online interview with the Assistant Manager, Manager and Deputy Director of the dept. Any idea is I do get a 2nd interview, who would be in the panel? 😅

Waiting in agony is whats really nerve wrecking for me right now. Wanted to drop the HR an email but thought it was too soon. Probably send them a follow up email next week. Thank you!

Realistically speaking, if you’re 24, youve probably only worked a year or so? In that case, assuming you have a degree from a local uni with good honours, you can probably expect 3.3-3.5k. Males only draw about 3.8k and thats with NS included.

If you have indeed posted a current gross of $3800.00 u probably qualify optimistically for their pay grade. Keep the optimism up . if you are suitable, they will call you within these 1-2 weeks. Final interview could be their Director. Or if the DD can call the shots, the HR will call you make you an offer.

-side track $3800 is indeed a very good package for a fairly young candidate

Hahahahaha I guess? But it comes with a heavy price. 12 hrs shift from Mon to Fri. Sometimes my AM would guilt trip me slightly for not coming to work on weekends. But compared to my other mates from the cohort, those working in pharmaceuticals earn 4K++. I cant do bio for nuts so I dont want to be a pharma slave. But kudos to those who enjoy it can really prosper and even more through this difficult times!

Thanks though for the advise!

Damn... I really thought it'll be more though since it is for and Engineer role. But yeah, I have a friend who works at MOM whom offered him 3.4K basic. So I guess in some way the range should fall around there.
Thought i would have a chance with my last drawn salary using my mere 1 year experience as a bargaining chip HAHAHAHA 😂

Thanks again for your reply!

Most ppl want to go from public sector to consulting. You in Accenture still want to come public sector?
