I give you guys 6 years experience just to be generous and you still kpkb don't believe. Sad

I guess if you can't get into banking or tech then it makes sense to go gov. Thanks for the insights

Am personally in finance and it was a blow out year LOL

Mr. private sector here mansplaining on a civil service salary comparison thread why the public sector pays peanuts compared to private sector, after being "curious" about why people choose to join the public sector.

Their stories are all very sad and I do give them tips sometimes.

Meh. They are probably the bottom of the barrel. But I do get why they miss their jobs though - high paying and above average progression if you don’t suck.

You call this being defensive? This is a thread for discussion on civil service and some insecure private sector guy has to come here to promote how good private sector is with the yadayada I earn 8k. Geez get a life u trash.

isn’t it ironic how peeps in civil service like to spread fake news about private sector and when others (out of goodwill) correct them, they act as if they own salary.sg lol

amusing rly

Any idea anyone?

Certainly not as ironic as being "curious" about compensation in the civil service and then getting all defensive "oohh i give 6 yrs exp still kpkb don't believe yadada" to those who actually bother replying to you. Then proceeding to whine about how people in this thread are being "defensive". 😂

Stop being so childish. I’m not curious about the compensation in the civil service (believe me - not even the slightest lol) and am certainly not the person/poster you think I am. Just stick to what you know and don’t go around making a fool out of yourself (acting like a professional commenting on the private sector lmao). As what others have pointed out earlier, you are merely a “frog in a well”.

LOL likewise what makes you think I am the same poster who commented about the private sector? Now tell me, how do I "believe" you, or likewise you vis-a-vis me, when both of our posts are anonymous? Nobody is making a fool out of themselves except you sir.
