Am 29 yr old, upper 2nd with local u in ministry for 1 year+ but seriously thinking of leaving. Salary currently $4k, MX12.

Issue 1: Feeling Underpaid
I got hired for technical IT role, but under MX scheme. We work with govtech counterpart doing same job. I recently learnt counterpart got 50% higher base pay....

Issue 2: Under-evaluated
In performance review with RO, he noted my performance is exceptional - best amongst all newcomers. Despite double-hatting appts & OT-ing many days, performance grade will be 'C' as this is default grade for newbie - he said cannot fight for upgrade even though he feels I deserve higher.

Issue 3: Empty promises and no estab
Got hired under SGUNITED contract, new offered contract will only be 1-year extension. Although RO say likely will be perm in the future, is he just stringing me along? He also say suggested potential switch to mgmt track in a few years to come, but not sure if this is just say-say to keep me hanging also.

Should I leave or should I be satisfied with where I am?

how many years of exp do you have? if you're a female, i assume it's 6yrs of exp for 4k? that's kinda low. if male, 4 yrs of exp for 4k? also kinda underpaid.

I would think that your performance grade depends on when you joined your ministry as well. If you had only worked for one year, say January 2021 onwards it is difficult to justify a grade more than a C as the ranking cycle is clocked from August 2020, to August 2021 (around there) for the upcoming PB. This would mean that the months of work you had done is only 8 months. That's my perspective.

Also depending on your years of experience, 4k may be considered low. Am unable to tell if it is due to the SGUNITED contract.

For issue 2, it could be possible that the time you spent in your min wasn't a full year under the ranking period. The ranking is done for work done from August 2020 to August 2021 (I can't remember the actual month). If you had joined anywhere later than August 2020, you would have considered to work less than 12 months, and that could be why your RO had difficulties justifying for a higher grade.

Wtf 29yo earn 4k only? Get outta there lah siao eh
