Many will claim that they got promoted.

Few want to admit otherwise.

Don't be fooled.

Can someone shed light on A*STAR salary range for a senior research engineer I? What is that in terms of grade? MX11?

the only way to circumvent this is to join non-MX schemes or stat boards. is this true? feel so demoralized that my annual increment is almost negligible.

Chillax…there will be changing point at Aug

was under the impression that an agency under a min is still considered working for min and they should be on MX scheme, but realised i am under a different scheme in MCCY (YE scheme), so does that mean i am under SB rather than min? new to all these so pardon if it's ignorant”


NYC is neither considered to be ministry nor stat board. They don’t follow MX scheme. They run on their own. Check with NYC HR to get the details

Curious to know as well. Got a similar verbal offer but never say the grade equivalent.
