What makes civil servants think that with their irrelevant skillset can be transferred into top management positions (ie HOD or C-level earning $200k pa and above) in the pte sector? Don't they know that most of these positions in MNCs are taken up by FTs that they don't have to contend with in the CS? It's a hard truth that MNCs prefer nationals of their own HQ origins to take up top positions in their regional HQs and offices.... after that we still have to contend with the lesser FTs like Indians and Pinoys, who you may realise after some time that may or may not be more than bags of hot air. These generals parachuting into GLCs are deluding their judgement.... |

Generalisation is easy but most forget or do not realise that CS/PS does not automatically translate into irrelevance. A low morale demotivated or lousy employee in a large private company with no desire to move out of his/her comfort zone and not learning anything/very limited or specific job scope is equally irrelevant, even for CS/PS. Bottomline - it is up to oneself to make the best of your career, wherever you are. |

Doesn't make monetary sense to sux in the underpaid (by comparison) job in private sector. |
I would ask for others not to assume that a civil svc job involves long lunches, many pantry and kopi breaks etc. i am in a policy role and work 930 to 830pm five days a week. Urgent work still needs to be tended to over the weekends. There is also the usual red tape, pushing around of work and decisions by other divs, turf guarding, bosses taking out their frustrations on you etc. Take it as justifications for the salary.

Reality check: Some guy here mentioned that as a "run of the mill uni grad with decent honors and part of the CS rank and file" he earned $120k at 32 years old.. almost unheard of in the pte sector!(disclaimer: excludes IB, consultancy, professionals like lawyers, doctors, etc) |

Certainly, many people may say that aiya those go public sector starting pay high nia, after that those in pvt sector can easily triumph over them. Yes, it is true for some, and that is very very little. most, I mean more than 70% of the people are earning less than even with rich experience under their belt. So is up to you guys to carry on this argument about which one is good and etc. Because it wont affect anyone's salary even you with this keyboard warrior war hahahaha |

High flyers perform well anywhere, be it private or public sector. Low performers perform poorly anywhere, be it private or public sector. However public sector is slightly more tolerant of poor performers, like the guy earning 6k after 10 years in CS. Even in private sector it only takes 6-7 years to hit 6k. |

Eg. CS: $6k x 17 mths = $102k Pte: $7k x 14 mths = $98k |
