Have close to 6 years of relevant working experience. Is $7,500 expected salary acceptable?

Depends on what role. What type of role did you apply for? Eg policy, finance, IT

I think 7.5k sounds too high.

6 years experience usually renders 5-6k

Policy and Operation.

5-6k with around total 4 months bonus? Isn't that just 80k to 96k?

u sldnt even consider civil/public service if u r going for high income. just stick to the private sector.

Hey everyone, I am bound to sign my letter of appointment with a CS soon.

Anyone knows how the procedure is like?

2nd this. 6 yrs exp from private probably gets around $5k, possible to be below $5k even.

mid-careers joining stat board lose out a lot to freshies in terms of pay, similar age, similar performance.

If I joined in June, will my aws and year end bonus be pro rated?

6 yrs relevant experience will be discounted? 6 yrs relevant experience in private might be more valuable than 6 yrs in public service. With average 4 months bonus at $6k basic is close to what I am getting now.

It's not about being discounted etc.

Think about it - those who joined fresh had more time to prove themselves in the org. Therefore, their performance and potential would have been assessed, even before you joined.

I think they may offer you Stg sinilar to what you are getting in private sector. So do consider carefully whether you are able to accept the pay/progression in public service, especially if you are already doing well in private sector.

Yes, it will be prorated.

stat board doesn't see it this way unless they are looking for specific skills to lead a dept/division. they reward those who have been with them. this is what i learned from HR as a group of us mid-career feedback about getting low paid. i know of many cases where the candidates have relevant exp but did not join as salary is not up to expectation. causes quite a problem for dept heads looking for new staffs.
