Specialised Scheme

Sounds about right. I know someone on economist scheme with that progression, but slightly higher because he's a scholar.

Fresh grads in the Economist Service will start as Asst Director (or some fancy MX9 title).

However non-Economist track freshers like IO/TO will often start at MX13 equivalent.

Please don't propagate fake news. All fresh graduates join MTI as Assistant Directors at MX13. They earn the same as MX13s elsewhere ie 3.5-3.8k. Info is first-hand.

Then how promotions to SAD and DD work? Any timelines?

MTI has no fixed timelines or ROA. I’ve heard of people getting promoted to SAD within about 2-3 years, while others take 4-5 years or longer. You can be held at SAD for a very long time too.

Also, just to point out, just because titles are similar doesn’t mean the pay grades are the same.

A MTI AD starts at about 3.5-3.8k (fresh grad). In contrast, a MFA AD would be about 6 years in service and would have come back from at least one post - drawing about 10k or so.

MTI SADs draw about high 4 to mid-5.

wow. MFA earn so much. 10k is gross? which means have to multiply by 12 months and 13th month bonus and whatever performance bonus they get to calculate their annual package?

MFA asst director is an experienced senior position.
MTI asst director is a junior fresh grad entry level job

I can name all fresh grad as ceo in my company too and give them 3k pay too.

But yes, outside of GIC/MAS, you will earn the most in MFA as a civil servant.

Is DD and Director at MTI equivalent to DD/D at other ministry?
