is it faster to gain promotions at a ministry or at its stat boards?
now i'm stuck at a level where there appears to be a glass ceiling. not sure whether it would be easier if i change my career path

What is your job scope? If you're doing desktop support, 4.3k is about the range you should be getting.

Seems like civil servants are paid very low, I am 32 yrs old getting around 8k in private sector.

That's because you are comparing with the wrong group in the civil service. Always compare with the elite group.

Elite group? I don't consider myself as elite group in private sector though.
