Negotiating salary for NUS Officer position (Malaysian)
Hello,
I just accepted an offer as an officer in an academic department at NUS, and currently we are in the middle of salary negotiation process. I am Malaysian and I have bachelor's and master's degrees, both from US universities. I also have a couple years of working experience. I am not well-versed on pay scale in Singapore, so I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on what would be an acceptable salary, after taking living cost into account? I had 3.5K as my expected salary when I was applying for the position, but it is still negotiable. Thank you! |

I think 3.5k is too high for officer level unless you have relevant experience. 3.5k is the low end of Assistant Manager already (very inflated titles in NUS) or close to max for officer. |

I'm quite confused with the ranks actually. The position name is "officer", but they also indicated that it is "manager-level". They have only sent me an informal offer, so there is still time to negotiate until they release an official offer. |

As for "manager-level" I'm not sure what it means, but anyone who has a basic degree w/o experience joins them as officer, so it is equal to private sector of fresh grad executive. If that is what they mean by "manager-level", then I think is highly misleading. One thing is NUS admin office has highly inflated job titles. Even their Director pay and responsibility is more like a manager in the outside world. I cannot imagine how an officer can be considered manager. |
This OP also very funny, NUS offer cannot even give your 3.5k and anyhow smoke you that this is a manager and you actually half-believe them. If everybody innocent like you I think recruiter job very easy.
