The civil service won't underpay you for the qualification through their scale, don't worry too much about it. that can be rigid but since you have a local qualification, it should pay in your favour but don't bang too much on your non-relevant experience and masters degree.

Not very fresh: FCH + Masters + 1yr unrelated work experience (+ NS). It's a SB and offered below 4k. Cheers.

definitely not, my friend EDB starting associate programme only 3.9k graduated from a top 10 uni in the world. non-scholar.

anyway, most non-uniformed specialisted scheme pay near to 5k for a FCH - Engineers, Statisticians, Economists, Foreign Affairs Officers, Intel Security Officers, Legal Officers.

A lot of those are not under MX scheme.

Agree.

I was highlighting to the reply-poster because the they asked if it was EDB, but I also realised the original-posted said they had a year of unrelated experience - so I guessed original-poster was a non-scholar since most scholar, even out for a gap year, would do something related (maybe in some rare cases do not).
