Does civil service only look at last drawn to give package?

years of relevant exp and position applied are some criterion

Nus, master dean listed. 3 years direct relevant experience with last drawn $3400 before I took my masters. How much do you think I can ask for during salary negotiation?

Why do people have this entitlement mindset. I last draw x dollars, i got a masters, i should be paid x + y.

What is the position, who are your competitors, how much are they asking, do you offer better proposition? If yes how much premium can your value add command. That's the fair remuneration you should go for.

It’s relevant because it is same job title but a more senior role this time in absorber organisation

civil service generally does not pay more for masters (even if relevant) unless asked for in the JD. otherwise your 'master dean listed' may be good for your long term progression.

for a start to help you estimate, you may want to provide us with the following:

degree class from your undergrad uni + gender + 3 years experience (maybe averagely 150-200 per year of experience) - this is important because they have a strict formula in estimating salary which works with the unit's hiring budget.

one's base salary will be determined by the degree class and uni (e.g., SIM will be paid 2.5-2.6k all the way to NUS FCH getting 3.7-3.9k: read earlier pages for an estimation) + 200 (if you served NS) + 150*3 (for your experience). however, don't be surprised if the civil service low-ball your salary since they may consider <3 experience to be a fresh grad role.

also, if you are looking at the specialised services (MFA, Stats, Economist, Engineer, Legal, Intel and etc) then add another 20% to the quote above.

they may consider your last drawn, but not often. if you read earlier pages, some people are getting a pay cut to join the civil service so that is not uncommon.

3rd class from non local with NS

Total experience 4 years - 3 of which are in a stat board. Got offered MX12 $4700. Any chance of MX11 after 1 year?
