Compare civil service salary

I know that 5.3 is higher than most entry level gov jobs.

Tech salary will gradually reduce when there are more and more comp sci or comp eng graduates. Enjoy while it last.

Hmm.. I doubt TECH industrial has up to 6~≥7 mths total bonus as in some gov agencies incl LTA. Sorry this may sound rude to u but it's not my intention really! 🙏🏻

That's true! No hard feelings.

I guess the real indicator should be total compensation.

Seriously, do not be blinded by salary at the start of your career. What u should be considering is how to upskill and reach the peak at the shortest time possible.

The amount of money u can earn at the peak of ur career and the duration where u stay at the top of ur game, will be the key to how much money u can earn.

Place yourself in an uncomfortable environment if it means u can learn and hit your peak in the shortest amount of time. That's when the real money will start rolling in.

Look at the bigger picture!

Thank you Appreciate this. Still learning to stop comparing, being content and learning as much as I can!

yeah but im saying 5.3 is considered good for tech fresh grad starting pay, are you expecting 6k or something? Some companies still offering 4.5-4.8 for tech fresh grads

HR told me if they used MX scheme my pay would be lower. They said my degree did not matter. Graduated part-time degree from SUSS

Hence I was offered a technical support scheme at 4200, I'm 34 this year. Is this a good offer??
