2.5 PB last month
Working in a stat board

32 yo
Non-local 2:2 with NS
Total 3 years exp in public sector + 2.5 year exp in private sector

I think this is a sharply below average progression

It's not ''sharply below average'' since u have a non-local 2:2. Local uni will definitely have far better progression.

Any kind soul can help explain what are they?

Basic salary
Monthly variable
Non pension variable component
Non pension component

Does the above include PB and allowances?

Im a fresh grad, with NS. 25 this year. In ministry.

Hope seniors here can advise 🙏🙏

MTI economist scheme? Sounds legit as this pay grade is usually pegged just below MAS & EDB which is at around 4.7 to 5.2k fresh grade associate position. Variable component implemented by most companies regardless public or private as a salary buffer for dire economic times (like now)

Your contract shall state your grade. How did you know the range?

Hi guys, I'm the female FCH NUS graduate who's taking $3.3K at MCI. I'm really not trolling. My friend who was a third class NUS graduate was offered $3.3K at MOE, so I thought maybe it's the standard entry-level salary when you go into ministries.

The package is standard I believe, mid-year bonus + end-year bonus + AWS. I'm on the MX scheme, MX13.

I was afraid of COVID-19 affecting the economy and in general the poor economy (was offered in mid-January, put it on hold and was offered another job in the private sector at $3.2K), so I just took up the job.

I thought $3.5K was pretty good because none of my friends have graduated and most go to work in social services, so they get lower salaries than I do.

Man, this seriously bummed me out. I came here because a friend from MTI told me that I was being severely shortchanged, but I don't understand why? Anyone can provide any insights?

Is it advisable for me to start looking elsewhere? I have a probation period of 1 year and I've also heard that it's not good to leave your job before the 1 year mark. I do enjoy what I do somewhat but I'm the type who can enjoy most kinds of work.

Believable as MCI is not an economic ministry unlike your friend from MTI. Usually in terms of ministry pay grade, your "tier 1 ministries" such as MTI & MOF will offer the highest salary - in the range of 4 to 4.5k.

Gotta look at the public service in its entirety - Most prestigious/highest paid (MAS, EDB & MFA) followed by Tier 1 ministries - MTI & MOF then tier 2 - Mindef, MND & MOM then the others like MOE, MSF, MOT & MCI etc etc

The contract states the range n grade. But I am from a SB and we do not follow MX grade. So I wonder what's the MX grade equivalent.

So what is the substantial grade and position stated?

Ohh.. Cool thanks!

So the amount they offer shld not be inclusive of pb and avc right?

They told me it will be revised upwards to arnd 4.8-5 after my uni certification is out. For second upper above.
