You must be male and above average.

I think the post was for generic and average (all C's only).

If past 3 years u get B above, u not average already. Ur first part of career got some will be default C promos. So it's wrong to consider urself as average

Average is every year either C or C+

Weird leh. I not good performer, average male teacher. 6.3k. Pass degree some more. What do you guys mean by good performer? Shouldn't "good performer" be like KP material and going down ST/Leadership track? These guys should have increased CEP levels, hence be promoting faster than the average joe.

Don't mind me asking. Are you female?

But a good estimate will be around 6+k to 7k gross monthly, with all the bonuses, should be near 100k like what the other poster has mentioned.

Good performers should reach this 6+k in their 7th year or so. And by 10th year, depending on whether they have positions, they should at least reach GEO5 and probably even near the ceiling.

You could always ask somebody who is in the branch, or write in to someone in the branch to ask. If they can't tell you, they'll let you know as much, but either way you've got nothing to lose by expressing your interest in a polite and sincere manner.

If you don't ask, then yup, you'll only know when OPE opens.

To maximise your chances, you should apply as soon as possible to the positions that you want. You can always deliberate on whether to accept the offer later on. It doesn't hurt to go for more interviews, you learn something from every one of them even if you don't get offered/don't accept their offer. Good luck!

Ope

Just a question about OPE, is there a number of applicants stated per post? That is, is it time sensitive or is it that you will get to register your interest as long as you apply within the window?

Maybe y'all should really call HR to see who gets this 9% adjustment. They must have certain considerations. Like during which period or sth. And confirm calculated on their end, to avoid backlash
this is really strange...promoted in 2021 will get this special adjustment, but promoted in 2020 and 2022 don't have? weird max

Because both our salary adjustments are not 5%. We had around 9% too. Maybe you ask ur GEO 4 friend to call HR? Our adjustment is definitely higher than that of GEO 3 at that time of adjustment in Oct 2022
