They dont need to give in, and they won't give in. There are many others behind you in the queue. Unless u are offering them someone which others can't. Which i doubt.

Hi, can i ask what the salary range for a fresh graduate with NS and Scholarship for IRAS? Job is related to IT/Transformation.

Singapore Local Uni Singaporean Male 2nd upper. If average or above average Performer, what is the base salary at early 30s, early 40s and early 50s be like.

Is it true that public service will at least match your last drawn?

Can I use this to negotiate higher?

no it is not true.

usually should be similar to ur last drawn annual salary.
if u are drawing 6k * 13 mths now, expect to have a cut on ur monthly drawn

Assuming Covid hasn't changed anything, average MX(ministry) would be:

Fresh - around 3.8k
35yo - around 6.5k
45yo - around 8-9k
50s - you'll probably stop increasing at about 9+k, depending on your CEP/performance.

The real draw would be your bonuses though, which will be a given every year and is generally better than the private sector.

is the annual package for avg performer around 16 mths?

But bonuses in MTI/MAS are generally higher than the social ministries/stat boards. So in a sense, officers from these economic agencies do get higher pay compared with officers from social agencies.

Depends on where you go, really. Average across the civil service is 14-15 months.
