Just v frustrated at work cos D, DD, AD all say until I jin good and therefore throw lots of work (technical & non-technical) to me, but never reward with anything other than words. Now that colleague left, like doing 3 roles for price of half.

Some additional information: Was from Private Sector IT sector, but got hired as fresh grad without com sci degree & coding bkgrd which is why I low confidence and settled for less. Have talked to Govtech counterparts but they dun want to offend my side by poaching me (apparently)

My salary history:

Year 1: $3900, no AWS, 0.5mth bonus (low bonus cos American company believe in gd performance reward with increment but not bonus)
Year 2: $4600, no AWS, 0.5mth bonus
Year 3: $4000, AWS, 2.8 mth bonus - switched to ministry, base lower, but overall more
Year 4: pending increment, currently contract-less cos HR screw up on renewal

2.8 mth bonus is C with PB 1.5 mth?

Hit mx10 = average performance
Below mx10 = below average.

Not sure is that really true since most farmers will retire at mx10 and can average farmers really hit their ceiling by 40?

Most farmers mid 30s only mx11

But in the preivous OP"s case, his second yr private sector pay was decent at $4600 but a newbie with 4k and minimal bonus (pb 1.5 and aws, excluding mid and end year) woukd already outperform his 4.5k w 12.5 package. Some private sector comapnies do have shitty bonuses and we cannot deny thar bonuses will bumo up the CS overall package.

The gap between 11a and 10 is rather significant. Farmers will generally remain in 11a for quite some time before getting the break through
