My first job out of uni I alrdy clear 8k/month w/o bonus.

I give you guys 6 years experience just to be generous and you still kpkb don't believe. Sad

I guess if you can't get into banking or tech then it makes sense to go gov. Thanks for the insights

You realised that’s mostly industry-centric due to the pandemic right? Aka it’s not about skills, but rather covid has devastated industries as a whole (like tourism - of which ppl like you can travel to cheap places like Thailand pre-pandemic)

Am personally in finance and it was a blow out year LOL

True. Even before Covid-19 strikes (since now we are wfh), each time I take grabcar to the office (when my car is sent for routine servicing), I always hear these former white-collared PMETs from the private sector-turned-driver how they missed their jobs in the banking, consultation, shipping, tech industries after being axed... and now need to resort to driving for a living just to bring the bacon back home. Their stories are all very sad and I do give them tips sometimes.

Will career growth in public service somehow be limited if your immediate RO is stuck ie not getting promotion for 5 years or so?

isn’t it ironic how peeps in civil service like to spread fake news about private sector and when others (out of goodwill) correct them, they act as if they own salary.sg lol

amusing rly

Certainly not as ironic as being "curious" about compensation in the civil service and then getting all defensive "oohh i give 6 yrs exp still kpkb don't believe yadada" to those who actually bother replying to you. Then proceeding to whine about how people in this thread are being "defensive". 😂

Stop being so childish. I’m not curious about the compensation in the civil service (believe me - not even the slightest lol) and am certainly not the person/poster you think I am. Just stick to what you know and don’t go around making a fool out of yourself (acting like a professional commenting on the private sector lmao). As what others have pointed out earlier, you are merely a “frog in a well”.

LOL likewise what makes you think I am the same poster who commented about the private sector? Now tell me, how do I "believe" you, or likewise you vis-a-vis me, when both of our posts are anonymous? Nobody is making a fool out of themselves except you sir.
