Since you get MX12 after converting to perm after 1 year, that means you only promote once for the whole decade?

That's fking povo pay mate. Utterly pathetic.

But I'm almost 3 yrs in and drawing 4.2k at mx12. I'm in my 30s. Defo doing worse than you if that makes you feel better.

30 this year, slightly past 5 years work exp.. 6.5k in a stat board

Any idea whether the Head designation maps to one grade or spans two grades?

After Head is a big jump as DDs will all end up as director so I guess some CEP is Head?
If you are high flyer head then you will be getting 7+ (maybe 8) probably after 6 years or so in service

I don't work there so take my numbers with a pinch of salt but I think my sources are pretty reliable

I have applied for Assistant Head role at A*Star HQ. does anyone know the pay range?

What are the special schemes in CS? Are they better off than the MX scheme?

32 this year. Non-MX scheme grade 11. Just below 8k monthly. Annual about 18.5 months not counting AVC. I'm a farmer here. Not happy because scholars paid even more but do same ****. Quitting soon. Kthxbye.

At least where I am, we work hard as hell (frequent OT and sometimes on Saturdays too) and the pay is very low for the complexity and volume of work we do (take home ~$3k at 30+ yrs old). Not as easy or unjustified as I had thought.

a lot of time is wasted writing minutes and papers in a very anal-retentive style

Hi, we all know the "economy has weakened". Will it affect the amount of merit increment and performance bonus next year?
