Good place to work?

6 yrs exp. 3 in civil service, 3 in private can ask for how much?

i am drawing 7.4k (MX11, 30 yo male)

am i doing ok ?

Depends on whether they choose to appoint you as manager or senior manager. Designation depends on your background.

When I joined with 5 years worth of relevant experience from another agency, went in as manager at 5k. This was a few years ago though.

Are you currently leading a team? How long have you been in mx11?

Should be MX11a

Is that gross salary or monthly basic?

Does anyone know what's the increment in IE Singapore like?

What's the pay range for senior manager?

which gov agency is this?

i join lta as mx1 then now mx2.. next is mx3 and so on...

What rank does a deputy manager in LTA, fall under? Mx4?

mx11 MI
 

I got C+ last yr, mx11 and MI was only 250 which is abt 4%

Doing very well
 

I think you're doing very well. I've 10 yrs experience, mx11 and drawing $6.4k per month wo NS, consistently A/B grade until first C+ this yr.

Are you a staff officer or leading a team?
How long have you been in mx11?

most stat board jobs now offer 2 year contract.. wonder how stable is that? my friend say most likely will renew...

anyone heard of civil servant kenna retrench before?

i only know that if you really screw up on the job, probably won't get renew contract

any views on this? esp. being converted to perm staff?

One of the ministries.

Stat boards often have variations in their own schemes, though they largely take guidance from PSD.

Hmm, a little odd to have 10 years experience and just reach $6.4k with consistent A/B grades. You from stat board?

3+ yrs as mx11, not leading a team now cause moved into a specialist role. Am from stat board, which has supposedly lower monthly pay but higher bonus. So total package is abt 110k for ft 13.

Yes stat board, but I resigned from ministry 3+ yrs ago at mx11 and went into a mx12 equivalent role with a slight pay cut. So I guess I was set back by 1 yr. And the stat board has lower monthly but supposedly overall package is better. Fy13 had a total 110k pay.

I think whether the pay is comparable with ministry can vary a fair bit across stat boards.

In FY13 (7+ years' experience), had >110k not counting hipo/PSL payments.

To be clear, I was referring to experience at ministry.

What's your age in 2014?

Out of curiosity, what was the reason why you decided to join the stat board despite the pay cut?

Did you join the ministry as a fresh graduate?

Does your 6.4k include the 5percent increment which was recently given in aug 2014?

Yeah, first job. Had several postings across departments but within the same organisation.

Are you in mx11a or mx10? You are in hi-po right?

Is the salary adjustment across the board, or restricted to some MX grades only?

Reading the posts here, and from chatting with some friends from the civil service, I find it hard to believe that civil service pay lags behind the market, especially when the last market adjustment was only 2 years ago.

I think it's for mx11 and mx10. Not sure about mx9.

I guess that the primary reason was probably they saw the need to split mx11 into mx11 and mx11a and wanted to do so without negative responses from the ground. Have to ensure that people are not pissed off by the creation of mx11a, which causes mx10 to seem harder to attain under the new system.

Were you primarily posted to policy roles?

Is being in Policy roles better? Is it harder to get in/survive in Policy?

I feel that there are more opportunities for profiling in policy. This cld possibly result in better career progression?

You can profile anywhere if you have a good boss ! It is really hard to find a good boss in civil service though ;) . Non-AOs too lepak. AOs too high expectations. lol.

Had four postings (three of which were for policy work) in seven plus years. Just starting on my fifth posting. I must say I was really blessed to have had several good bosses.

Bosses (especially if you get to work directly with Ds/SDs/GDs) really play a critical role - in assigning high-profile work, providing opportunities for snr mgt to know you, as well as giving due recognition and fighting for good grades/CEP.

Out of curiosity, are you from an economic- focused, security/defence-focused or social-focused ministry?

It's a little more justifiable if that's indeed the case.

Anyone know what is SSO in civil service?

Senior Staff Officer
