I have joined GovTech as a software engineer for a few months. Is working for the government a plus for my PR application? The base salary is about 9k.

If you just joined I really doubt it would have any bearing. Personally I think it may have some with some longer millage but I also know people working for gov agencies for number of years having their applications rejected.

Few months of anything means nothing

I can see how working for the government for a long time and making major contributions in the process might work in ones favor. Still, I believe it would only work if there were a number of other favorable factors met.

Nothing is guaranteed or else people will be trying to game the system by getting Govt jobs.

Agree, it's probably very marginal (if anything).

Yep, nobody really knows.
