will take 3-5 years

Is there any difference between FCH and second-upper, apart from the starting pay difference of about $100? Any difference in CEP or progression at all?

If join the pslp scheme maybe can match

Of course. Up to $300 difference

Does anyone knows what is the starting pay/pay range for CPF manager (fresh grad) , local u?

What is the MX grade equivalent for an Assistant Manager in CPFB?

For assistant manager to go to manager in a sb how long will it take?

What is mid year increment like in civil sector ministry? Is it based on one's performance or a percentage of one's monthly pay?

To give my 2 cents.

I’m from the private sector going to public sector soon.

The MNC I’m in, the senior engineer is earning 4.5k to 5.5k.

The position I’m joining is an AM in a SB. $4.5k.

You can take it as a reference. Neither all private sector companies is offering higher than public sector nor is the public sector offering higher than private sector.

It ultimately boils down to your experiences. How do you expect an employer to offer you high salary when you got zero experience or if you’re a fresh grad regardless of private or public sector?

Will you be doing a non-engineering role in the SB you're joining since your title is an AM?
