If you running down govt contracts work..... be warned.
Prepared to get $#@!ed with no vaseline by CPO when they change u salary after 1-2yrs into the job when they finally give you your contract.
You will be then owing the govt, as your salary is higher that what recommended in the contract. So they will either take it out your remaining salary or out of the gratuity if your finish your contracted period.
