Out of curiosity -- what is the average salary of fresh grads in SG? I'm from Indonesia and currently planning to get a job there.

It is normal to give an informal offer and wait for you to accept before sending the official offer documents in most recruitment. If you already accept it, it is considered very rude to go back now and ask for more. It is within your right to do so, but be careful of the repercussion.

As for "manager-level" I'm not sure what it means, but anyone who has a basic degree w/o experience joins them as officer, so it is equal to private sector of fresh grad executive. If that is what they mean by "manager-level", then I think is highly misleading.

One thing is NUS admin office has highly inflated job titles. Even their Director pay and responsibility is more like a manager in the outside world. I cannot imagine how an officer can be considered manager.

I think 3.5k is too high for officer level unless you have relevant experience. 3.5k is the low end of Assistant Manager already (very inflated titles in NUS) or close to max for officer.

I am not well-versed on pay scale in Singapore, so I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on what would be an acceptable salary, after taking living cost into account? I had 3.5K as my expected salary when I was applying for the position, but it is still negotiable.

Thank you!
