Am working at one of the healthcare GLCs. If you are looking for high pay and career progression, stay away from healthcare. Pay is reasonable and job is stable. Feels like a retirement job

Hi..Thanks for insights
I be more specifc
Background: Fresh graduate, Male, 2nd upper honors from ntu major in computer sci intending to work in e field of clinical analytics as a executive in one of the Hospital from the healthcare GLCs

Can share about the starting pay/ career progression/typical bonus?
And isit wise to start working in healthcare analytics as first job? Easy to switch afterwards?
Thanks

The pay scheme is actually rather transparent for the admin and nursing,especially for fresh grads. You can check out this Union agreement: ://.hseu.org.sg/wps/wcm/connect/5119480040894622b7bfbfd8f867c067/S76+of+2013+National+Healthcare+Group+%28ASCA%29B% 28240713%29.pdf?MOD=AJPERES

The other healthcare GLCs like SingHealth should be quite similar too.

With regards to switching jobs, do you mean switching within healthcare sector? The healthcare sector is expanding and has a shortage of manpower. Hence, they are always looking to recruit staff. The "next step" from healthcare GLCs is usually private healthcare companies which of course pay better.

To add in, for nhg executives are job grade 11 and 12. Senior executives are job grade 13.

For SingHealth: ://.pou.org.sg/wps/wcm/connect/22e96c804f85b1ac821ef6bda6c1e78c/SingHealth+Collective+Agreement+2012-2015+Jan+2013_Clean.pdf?MOD=AJPERES

Hi,

can u repost the two links as the link is buggy

Thanks

I found the link, thanks


Job Grade Minimum ($) Maximum ($)

AH11 $2,300 $4,400

AH12 $2,600 $4,800

AH13 $3,300 $5,550


So for my case, I belong to AH11/AH12?

AH refers to Allied Health staff scheme. Unless you are working as pharmacist, medical technologist, lab technicians, physiotherapist and the similar likes, you will only be considered as executive under Administration.

honestly, I always think that local grads should try out stat boards/directly with the ministry. with 2nd upper hons, you should be able to get a higher starting salary than in the GLCs. If you are so interested in healthcare, why not try HPB, HSA or MOH?

So for my case:Doing analytics in hospital as an executive with a comp sci degree from ntu is consider what scheme?
Kindly advise, thanks
