What happen from 2012 to 2013, +$1000 salary or 20.8% increment??? so much??

according to the posts here, 5k by the age of 30 (5 years) for male seems like a good gauge... but no guarantee of the credibility or reliability of the posts here tho.

I forgot to mention there was a 10% increment in 2012 and I got promoted as well in 2013. The stat board I work in has more sub grades between mx12 to mx11. Am not managing anyone but same grade as mgrs.

Your SB rings a bell; does it's acronym have two "A" in it? Nonetheless, it's a surprise that your SB actually follows the Civil Service increment in 2012. My previous SB gave us the usual HR talk and says that they will include that component in for our annual MI, but of course did not materialize.

I think you're doing quite well, bearing in mind that your starting salary was below 3k and that you took a paycut cum "demotion" in grade. Though you may start to see your younger peers taking a shorter time to hit your salary simply because their starting pay is higher.

Thanks, no my stat board has no A in its name. Just feeling a little jaded and thinking if it's time to move on. But I'm 33 this yr already and feeling quite comfortable being on the hi potential list for the sb. To move means gotto start all over.

Is Constituency Manager considered civil servant? Are they entitled to the mid year and end of year bonus that other civil servants are getting?

People's association considered public service, so will have its own schemes. Most likely will get same mid yr end yr bonuses, but not sure if payout at same time as ministries. My stat board only gives 13 month in dec, the rest of the additional bonuses are all accumulated till May of each yr.

Hi all,

I will be having a second and final interview with a director from a ministry tomorrow. Is it safe to say that I have more or less secured the job since it is already the final one. Thanks

Not necessary, they may shortlist a few for final interview and choose. Just do your best! Positive attitude is no.1 thing they look for. All the best!
