If your on OnG ships, then the food is good and quantity is never a problem, plus every fortnight is BBQ night.

Ops.. just to clear some confusion, the job I posted is related to working onboard vessels, but it's just go up work and then come down. We are not following the vessel for it's sailing voyage. Except for some special cases. to add some more: I do get internet access most of the time working in the middle of the sea.. Singtel coverage is still there and I still can go online with my Broadband on Mobile to kill time while waiting.. Without it ..i would die of boredom  |

That depends on the company you work for and the size of your portfolio, no? I would say generally about 13-14K for a new mktg manager in a global MNC.

Hi, how many years experience required to get about S$6k a month in "finance/accounting" in Singapore? Anyone knows what the general job scope/position in Singapore that'll get that salary?
The purpose of this question to me, is so that I know the requirements, and can then work towards building a set of skills and experience necessary to demand a S$6k salary

If I take the chemical global MNCs as a reference, basically any managerial job will bring you to $10K a month. Like I mentioned a couple of posts above, my company's managerial pay scale starts at $13K. |

I believe that not much company will pay so much for manager. |
