Home of Div 2 Officers (Ministries/ Statboard)

Yup true. Actually I felt shortchanged, I just started the job a week ago n happened to saw my job grade under div 2. I don't intend to stay long, at most 2 years n den go back private sector. Coz I did a industry switch from IT to finance. Had a diploma in IT, just obtained degree in finance.

Felt there was misrepresentation in the word xx executive when advertised on jobs ad.

Everything was too late now

the sh|t work isnt tough / difficult but u have to listen to the orders of the management.
and most of the time, management in the civil service are pretty slow n inefficient.
why would u even take n waste your degree then?

and btw if u dont know, almost all div 2 officer jobs are dead end, whether ppl want to admit it...

however if u were to join as DIVISION 1 OFFICER, i can guarantee u that u will earn at least 5K SGD per mth within your first 5 years unless u fk it up big time...

The yearly increment and performance bonus also diff for div 1 and div 2.. even tough u start off at 3k+, u will find it hard to reach 4k if every year increment only abt $100.. do u know that for div 1, they enter mx13 after one year if nothing go wrong will promote to mx12.. and this one time increment they will be getting plus $500.. thats y join div 1 more perks.. plus ur not bottom of food chain.. div 2 is like slavery job, cos i also div 2.. everything also do...

im the same poster from #17 and #20.

what the above guy typed is 100% correct. mx13 if pass probation n emplaced on perm scheme to mx12 will get pay rise of at least $400 upwards.

oh btw, for division 2 officers, it's technically almost impossible to earn 60k per annum before the age of 35 years old (HARSH TRUTH). and the annual increment of div 2 officers ranges from $100 to $130.

That's sad to know but with little experience, i can't choose to be in div 1 even I'm armed with degree. I just hope to stay solid 3 years to gain experience, and move on private sector. Currently I'm in investment relevant role.

Just curious, they offer u 3k+.. are u now an mx14?, cause i know mx14 pay ceiling is abt max $3.2k

if you take suss pt degree while working in cs got chance for promotion to div 1?

No.. u still have to go through normal interview with other candidates when u want take up div 1 post.. does not mean got degree auto promote to div 1.. cause if u now mx14 theres no double promote to mx12 just because of the degree.

can no problem. transfer of service quite common in cs.

if div 2 average increment is around $100 - $130, what is div 1 average increment?. I recently just got promoted from div 2 to div 1, so i am curious to know what will the increment be roughly like in div 1.

The increment is based on your scheme, whether MX, MSO and at which grade.. Div 1 and 2 are just general tiers..
