i supposed lta grade 7 is mx12. how about lta grade 8, 9 and 10?

MX13 starting pay only 2500 back then

Would anyone advise, how is the career and pay progression for MSF? Starting as Executive at $3.2k (MX13). (I’m a fresh grad.) I understand that the different levels are: Exec, Snr Exec, Policy Officer, AM, M etc. There’s also Policy Officer positions in my division. Wondering for an average farmer (non-scholar), how many years to progress to the next level? Thanks in advance!

I wouldn’t want to trade the possibility of earning more than 200K pa with the predicatable pay and lower pay ceiling of CS

What is the salary of a Senior Deputy Director in a ministry? Snr DD corresponds to which MX?

You already trade the predictable and high pay ceiling of CS with the possibility of earning less than 200k pa elsewhere. CS are earning 200k, are you in the wrong place? More than half the department changed new cars in May-June after getting bonus and the cheapest one is Audi A4.

Which division? SPSG, RPG, FDG etc? what are you doing? Gender, got NS?, what degree & age?

Exec - MX13
Snr Exec or Policy Ofr or AM can be MX13/12 depending to division.

usually MX13, the next year will promoted liao.. cos 13 is a confirmation grade..

a 50 year old deputy director in a big stat board earning $13k pm is it average?

This is a bit on the higher for a deputy director. Based on his salary, he will get closer to S$250k p.a. He will have his 13th month, performance bonus and double corporate bonus - easily 6 months and up to 8-9 months.

How long to reach 200 pa? Cars are depreciating assets.

Not sure if it match exactly, but largely should be like this

lta 6 - mx13
lta 7 - mx12
lta 8 - mx11
lta 9 - mx11a
lta 10 & 11 - mx10
lta 12 - mx9

Will there be salary revision soon since election is coming? 😀

Are JTC and LTA considered SB? Or CS? Saw a lot of openings recently. Strangely friends said they pay better than pte. True? From engineering industry here. 10 yrs experience with only degree if to join either, what kind of position or salary to expect? Will base on previous pay?

What are the chances of reaching DD or AD or D if join in mid career without being a scholar in SB?

For generous bonuses (6 to 9 months), join pte. Furthermore, job hop in pte sector generally gets pay raises 1K and up. This is something you don’t see in CS.

Not sure about the bonus part, but think it applies to banking sector more. The job hop part definitely is more possible compared to CS.

Yes LTA is a SB of MOT. Not sure about JTC, but the SB usually pays higher for engineering roles (e.g., DSTA engineers starts from mid 4s for fresh grad) because it’s like a professional service. Not sure if they pay better than pte engineering firms, but there’s a large competition for good engineers so seems like the govt more willing to pay more for it.

Anyway, SBs may be a little higher cause they set their pay structure independent from CS BUT BUT BUT they take direction from CS renumeration framework.

I think 10 years can join as principal engineer or higher senior/ junior mgt roles within the engineering wings maybe? They will take into your pay as account, but he warned that your salary maybe founded based your qualification, and then top ups to your experience and other qualification - that is to say, keeping all else the same, you would have earned more with a first class than a 2:1 from your uni. The thing about CS renumeration structure is that they have a structure and formula to set pay. Then other things they want to match its like a top up to the base structure from the formula.

All the best!

What's the yearly increment translated to percentage?

5 years experience, private pass degree, what position (mx) and salary should I expect? Got offer about 6.5k. Not sure if lowballed.

What’s your target salary? Thought it’s a good offer

if u see previous posts, ppl work 6 years since fresh grad only 6k. and u pte pass degree. super good offer

Very good deal.. only 5 years experience..
Even pte companies may not pay that..

Anyone know how much salary should I expect after 5 years with a stat board as an engineer? Starting pay $4300, after probation of one year 5k. Local grad, first class and non-scholar. Assuming avg performance.

You will have to ask the engineers. I know a girl who got her first job in a stat board with a local degree (non FCH) in 2019. Her starting pay is $3300. MX scheme.

Hopefully yes, hope will come by the end of the year

Yes should be this year. Starting to receive election letters already. Hence pay increment should come before election somehow

Whats the rationale that pay adjustment comes before an election? Our economy is already going to face a tech recession soon, how does that justify for a pay adjustment to us?

Agree. I'm quite ticked off that they waited so long that there's now a recession coming and an upward pay adjustment is no longer justifiable. If anything the pay will now be adjusted downwards - will probably make the voters happy too.

True for oil and gas petrochemicals banking only la bro. Not everyone in these sectors

Gross and Basic Salary
 

Hi, Im not sure if this is asked before but what is the difference between basic and gross salary?

For example (numbers are made up):

Gross monthly salary: 2000
"Your gross monthly salary is made up of 50% basic salary, 10% MVC, 9% NPC, 31% NPVP."

So what is my basic salary?

If my gross is made up of half of my basic salary, where is my other half? Why is it not made up of 100% of my basic salary?

When to quit if want to take Dec 2019 bonus?
 

Hi,

I would like to know if I want to quit my CS job and take home Dec 2019 bonus. When should I quit if I need to tender 1 month notice?

best to tender on 1st week of dec, so your last day should be in Jan.

cheers

Went for an interview at MOE a few weeks back. But no news until now. Does that mean that I have no hope already?

Should call to check. It’s getting a bit too long.

Mas
 

Does anyone know if MAS pays higher than ministry for similar grade? If so, roughly how much more?

Thanks!

How do you improve your CEP? Possible to improve if your grades were only so so but you're doing well in the job?

Had this question too
Would a local uni masters cover the so so grades

Also would this help with getting into PSLP?
Great performance, so so grades possible?

From my experience and understanding, CEP is based on your education. Was in services for 3 years, default c 1st year, B 2nd year and A 3rd year but not promoted compared to a 1st class colleague who got promoted 1.5 years into service. Have since left the org and now in pte sector. Never been more happier.

Yes, i have seen people done it.

Is CEP of MX8 considered high?

Is the masters relevant for the job - otherwise no...
