Just to check during the first year in stat board, do they give salary increment? or dont have de?

Which govt agency and job function? I am going to apply.

34 years old. 7.7K base salary.
13th month bonus + performance bonus (varies from 3 -5 mth). So bonus ranges 4 to 6 mths per year.
Annual cash 123K to 138K per year.
Rank and file. But work long hours, OT everyday and work on weekends too.

Wow.. which ministry is that? pm me pls:D

Not quite worth it if there is a need to ot and burn weekend frequently.

At what age you entered and what was your starting pay?

Not worth it. You don't have time to enjoy the money you make.

Long hours and OT, let's take that as about 12 hours a day.
Work on weekends, that means 7 x 12 = 84 hours a week.
In one year you work 84 x 52 = 4368 hours. Give a discount of 368 hours for public holidays, still left 4000 hours.

Your per hour rate is 123k / 4000 = $30/hour. Just an average pay rate for someone who earns 5k+ but works normal hours, Mon to Fri.

May be worth it now as you are young but once older and with children you will hope to have more time to spend with them as they grow up. No child wants a parent they don't see, money can't replace.

I am the 7.7K person - and I work around 60h a week. Mostly paper writing, clearing papers, meetings, presentations, convincing many stakeholders and management, as well as large scale project management ... I started off at 2.6K. Salary tripled in ten years. Not easy to join as we take only those with good honours, pay is relatively good but do we work for it and expectations are high

7k monthly, but small title & low responsibilities & mild stressful, only 30 hrs/wk. how is this?

60h a week is perfectly fine, hardly considered as OT especially since you are paid 120k+ pa. How about those working 60 hours in the pvt sector and getting paid 80-100k only?
