Being retrenched from civil service is unheard of. Being removed is possible, but that is if the guy did something really terrible, otherwise civil service is a rather... civil employer, definitely more civil than many companies in the private sector. |
Fresh Grad from NUS
Hi to all the veterans here, would like to seek some advice from you all
I am a recent graduate from NUS, 2nd class lower in Economics(FASS). I have accepted a job offer from one of the ministries here, gross starting pay is 3K including NS increments. Under the MX12 scheme, salary range is $1970 - $5340 I would like to ask the following 1)Roughly How much are the yearly increments? Each increment equates to a rank in the pay grade? 2)How many ranks would there be, in for example, the MX12 pay grade. 3)What would the promotion prosepects be like? Promotion to the next pay grade, MX11? 4)Given that i peform average-ly compared to my peers, where should i see myself in 5-10 years' time? Sounds like a little ambitious when i haven't started work, but i would like to plan ahead and give myself something to aim for, rather than just work and be lost. |

Congrats on getting a job. 1) The increments range from 100 - 200 per year. Depending on your ministry, boss, performance etc. 2) The old scheme has a junior and senior rank per grade but i think with the revised MX scheme they removed it. Check with HR? 3) For normal grads and if you work "normally" you should be promoted to MX 11 in your 3rd year of service (eg after 3 years) if not, time to jump ship my friend :) Should you decide to stay 5 - 10 years, you should expect at least 2-3 grade promotions, a section head for your div dept PS, i was once fresh grad like you, with the same ambitions etc. But really ministries are not staying as a career unless you plan on retireement or start a family (for woman). Good to plan ahead, and best wishes for your first job. |

On point no.3, promoted to MX11 in third year of service is considered rare rather than the normal. Plus TS has a second lower, slightly disadvantageous in the grand scheme of things. Staying on 5-10 years and getting 2-3 grade promotions is reasonable provided that TS performs slightly better than his peers at his ministry. On the point about ministries not staying as a career, i beg to differ. To each his own, civil service pays quite well and its stability can be a plus point. One is encouraged to do postings at different ministries to get exposure too. |

Not really i think. promoted to MX 11 after 3 years of service is normal. Promotion after one year service is rare. of course it is to each his own, but for a fresh grad, perhaps by going the private sector and exp more, it is a better way of staying in the ministries as a career since grad. on the other hand, staying as a mid career switch maybe a good choice because of stability etc. By the scholar, they usually mean those plp who have 5As or H1 in their A levels and have accepted a scholarship from one of the ministries or stats board. |
