Civil Service Pay - Director level

Been in the service for my first job, left 3 years later.

AD means nothing in my board, most of them have no stuff reporting to them, in the private world they are nothing but senior executives...as in senior accountant, senior sales executive etc.

For the amount of work, these people are grossly overpaid. Where in the world can you go for 2 full weeks of training, without your boss/peers calling you in the middle of classes at all and knowing that you work is being taken care of while you are at training?

A few queries please:
1. How senior is an Assistant Director in Monetary Authority of Singapore?
2. What kind of pay one can expect in that role in MAS?
3. Do they hire foreigners( I am a US citizen looking to relocate to Singapore.)

Thanks in anticipation!

Regards

Ad is one level up from associate, where associate is the entry level graduate title
Yes mas hires foreigners selectively

This is not bad already.

Some stat boards are begining to downgrade AD even further to entry level Executive by calling all fresh grads who join with a degree AD.

Hi. Care to share where did you end up after quitting? I heard it is not easy for someone who has worked for MAS to transit to banks.

This will differ from stat board to stat board. For MTI for example, AD is entry level as they would need to interact with industry and overseas couonterparts. So need to project "higher authority".

For polys as an illustration, the following progression generally applies: Lecturer -> Senior Lecturer -> Section Head -> Manager/Course Manager/Senior Manager -> AD -> DD -> D

you are wrong

Lecturer > Senior Lecturer> Manager> Senior Manager/Deputy Director> Director

In some polytechnic, they have created additional position> Senior Director

You are wrong too. It depends from poly to poly. In my poly senior director is not equivalent to DD!

As such I wan to ask what will the salary most likely like and what are the chances of me able to get in without a degree....
