Anyone can help shed some light on how I should go about this? Possible to switch schemes before emplacement or need to quit and apply again(?) thanks in advance!

For some reason they pay the same despite Honours class (FCH and 2nd lower were offered the same starting salary).

We will be getting a promotion at our 1 year mark (this is guaranteed based on the monthly update) I was wondering if this is when the differentiation starts? Is it likely that the difference will start here?
Some of my colleagues claim that the raise is around 14%.

Does anyone know the typical increment when they go from mx13 to mx12 after one year?

I received a letter of emplacement and I am wondering if it means that I am converted to permanent from contract and also I passed my probation.

Hi, sorry this is not directly related to salary matters, but - for those who have chosen a Stat Board over a Ministry before when offered both, may I know what was your thought process behind the decision?

I was given a verbal offer from a stat board (strategic planning) as well as its parent ministry (policy) and am in the middle of deciding which one to accept. Putting aside personal interest and salary/benefits, what are some other things I may wish to consider? Is it easier to jump from stat boards to ministries or ministries to stat boards? How about pivoting to agencies in other industries? Any inputs or thoughts would be greatly appreciated as this is my first PS/CS role. Thanks!

Background: Local uni grad, non-scholar, a few years work experience in a govt-affiliated organisation (not PS/CS).
