2nd Upper: $3.6k
1st Class: $3.85k

With the recent 5% adjustment should be more now. Assuming one beh kan farm all the way every year get MI $250 with no promotion, with 6 years a reasonable sum is about $5k.

you nail it right. that's very very close to my SB. so for my case, i calculate about $150 for every yr of irrelevant experience. but with that kind of $250 MI even for mid career, i'll forever be lagging behind my peers, not forgetting they will be promoted to higher grade much faster than me, salary gap drifting further and further. so much that i can't swallow... but no choice got to stay a while.

the recent adjustment, none for entry grade grads.

The gap shouldn't get further and further. Most average 2nd upper CEP stays maxed out about $8k, so it's just a matter of you get there faster or slower.

In Civil Service wait long enough you will have it unless your CEP jin high which I suppose will be MX10 for most people.

This means that the default CEP is probably mx11a? For the better cases, mx10?

Are you doing policy research, rather than policy?

What are your working hours like? Do you usually need to stay late / do OT?

i am also a MX11 officer...drawing around 7K. Wonder if i would be promoted to MX11A next year. Otherwise, I would be stuck at the ceiling.

What's your most recent performance rating? How old are you? NS?

Just got a call from the HR at Ministry of National Development about a knowledge management position I applied for a couple of months ago.

No interview scheduled but just ask why I wanted to leave my current job after less than a year.

I'm quite interested in the job based on the JD.

Anyone know how the working culture at MND is like?
