That's assuming you don't get promoted.

I'm an average farmer, took me 5 years to hit $6k from 3.6k. Currently MX11.

i am from a non local U. currently i have 2 mx11a and 2 mx11 reporting to me. One 36 yr old, FCH NUS.. Another 38 yr old masters from NUS..

Nope, fat hope! The employer is the same aka "Ah Gong", why should they pay you more? In private sector, job hope can fetch 10-20% increment because firms compete to get talent and the contacts/new business leads/experience/skills which the poached staff might bring along... within PS/CS, I don't think so... most likely when you change job, it will be a different job scope...

i am 35yr old in LTA, just a grade 9 (similar to mx11a).. but i am the RO for 2 grade 9 and 2 grade 8.. one of them has a Masters from NUS.

i think what this poster say is highly possible. I am new to PS, unless you are saying this is possible in SB but not Min

nope.. FCH does not equate to higher CEP than non-FCH

Hmm is there even a point in getting FCH then, apart from the slightly higher starting salary? I always thought CS cared a lot about your grades haha.

Hmm honestly seems like these 2 NUS grads took a longer route thus still at mx11/a in mid-late 30s. Usually freshgrad especially fch reach mx11a in abt 4-5 years.

So will be age 28 or 29 around there.
