NUS FASS male fresh grad with FCH and NS here. I also have several academic awards(top student for the A Levels, top student in my major blablabla) and internship experience.

What are the ministries/stat boards that generally pay the highest? Based on what I've read, it seems to be MFA and EDB. I honestly don't know what I want to do with my life and I have no interest in any particular job, so I thought I'd just try for the highest-paying government jobs. Any suggestions?

Also, would $4k be too much to ask?

I think progression is faster (cause their cep is higher) and performance bonuses are usually bigger for them (ie, package is bigger).

Other than higher CEP, whats in the 'bigger' package? Do they get Public Service Leadership proyramme allowance?

My friend fch ns lta offered 4 in policy roles, and free 120 for mrt each mth lol

Not so high for uniformed. Only 4+ for normal FCH until they become captain which is about 5.5 for FCH.

If one doesnt make it. Then thats really sad.

Yes its guaranteed emplacement. Captain ranges for mid to high 4 all the way to about 6k

it's your profile and experience - for fresh grad and <3 years of work experience, the CS usually emplace people on the assistant manager post instead.

what about the salary?

6 years on, just hit 6k only. what about you guys?

DXO related (different scheme) can give ~5k for fresh grad. Have a arts major friend with FCH who has that offer. I heard that they usually ot a lot though. Something along the lines of 7pm - 10pm is normal. Not worth it in my opinion.

Possible to nego with hr or is it set in stone?

Sometimes other than work experiences, it also depends how mich confidence the interviewers have in you to do an SM job. So put you as M first to see how you perform.

I suppose MX 13 is LTA grade 7 and the so on?
