That's why can't be based on absolute figure(s). The argument doesn't hold water. Has to be mixture

Absolute figure as in they are in numbers. How much in absolute figures depends on perf grade and possibly CEP.

I work in a stat board.
MY MI for two years has been
241
308

Weird numbers. Is this normal or considered low?

Can't comment. SB have their own scheme.

Does anyone know how to check your MI and PI breakdown in a promotional year? All I see is the final amount for Apr in Pac@gov. thanks!

Seems low. Even more so if u r in one of the economics SB

31 or 39? Your true age allows us to see whether doing ok or good or bad.

Based on psychology of writing like this, likely late 30s, very unlikely 31

psychology meaning the writer is feeling inferior and insecure, and likely to be pushing 40.

Hmmm, won't say as such, but just that people getting older are ️shy about their aging status. Normal la

130k in 30-35 years old is normal for a top performer, regardless of private sector or public sector.

What you mean to say is: 130k in 30 to 35 years old is for top performers. For normal people, it will be much less.

i'm <35 yo by the way

Yes, you are doing extremely well. If you have been consistently getting perf grade of A and B+, you don't have to ask so much. You are already a top performer.

Lol i hope your ego has been stroked but seriously many here do lack the beauty of confidence (without asking). Oh welllll

Ok but not great. I earned the same as you at 32, and by then my wife and i already owned a d11 condo fully paid up and had $400K in cash (due to some earlier astute investment). I'm still in my 30s but my earning last year was $240K basic plus close to $100K bonus. We work in banking and finance.

Duh.. Everyone knows banking and finance, besides lawyer, pays well. This is a forum for govt officers; we can't compare oranges with apples right?

Don't be so hao lian ok?

Well done, keep it up! Someone give this couple a greater earner award! Maybe can be advertising for XXX insurance company and declaring early retirement now!

Haha well said.

i notice my salary got increase a bit because of mvc... what is that?

MVC is monthly variable component

Comparing is aimless and endless if everyone and our opportunities are different over time. When I graduated in 92, my first monthly pay was $1400 (I was in private sector, MNC) then, it was compatible with the cs. 12months later, I had a pay hike of $1000. Back then it was really worthy to sing about...out of 600 applications only 4 eventually were chosen. That was 23 years ago. But seriously, now hearing all these talk and expression of earnings, where are we heading? What's the purpose? I learn meaningful use of money for self and others and comfort in lifestyle is just what it takes to live a satisfactory life.

whats that and how it works in layman terms?

People are curious where they stand and they like to compare to their peers, or that they want to know how much they will be getting before the official news.

By the way, you are given a choice to read or not to read. If it does not suit your taste, read somewhere else.

agree with you. We come to this forum to verify if we are short changed in various industry with respective experience.

You are great but not fantastic. I earned the same as you in my 30s, and by then i already singly owned a d11 bangalow fully paid up and had $800K in cash (due to alot of earlier astute investments). I'm just past my 30s but my earning last year was $480K basic plus close to $200K bonus. I don't even work in banking and finance.

Yes, you did not ask me for comparison. Neither did the fellow you compared yourself to.

some salary figures at MOH, MX scheme:

female pass: 2960
female 2nd lower: 3160
female 2nd upper: 3260
male w NS pass: 3297
male w NS 2nd lower: 3497
male w NS 2nd upper: 3597

HI THERE! ANYONE KNOWS IF THIS IS ACCURATE???

Chill, just stating my opinion, like most here. Because someone had posted earlier he or she was depressed on reading the many posts of people doing very well. Do be empathetic, less critical more open-minded

No need to be depressed. If one wants to get rich, civil service is not one avenue to go to, unless you are set for life to become high ranking officer like DS, PS.. You won't be poor, but rich either in CS. Comfortable but probably not luxurious living.

Barking up the wrong tree...says who(I am depressed)?

Responding not to your thread but the person after who said you are depressed la.

32 yo male with local degree. 8 years in a ministry and earning $7000 pm.

How do i fare?

Where is your source from..? Somehow it doesn't seem comparable to other ministry / statboard

I do not think that society has changed that much. Perhaps if there was a anonymous forum back then, you would have seen the same questions being asked.
