Hi guys I will be starting my work in Singapore next Tuesday as an Assistant Project Engineer.

I kinda just found out that I will have the 'Assistant' tag in front (the job was advertised as Project Engineer) and they're paying me a pretty measly probation pay of $2200 although I have a Masters degree. But I am a fresh grad with no prior working experience and I thought that it still beats the offers I get from Malaysia, so yeah.

Would you guys take the job, under these circumstances?

I think this is not a good offer, try to apply more companies, big , medium, small company, apply as more as u can and go for interview. Compare all the offers and choose the best suit u. My starting paid is $2500 with only a bachelor degree. The "Assistant" also not for a degree holder, it is for diploma level.

I am aware of that. The thing is, I have been reviewing the approval letter for my employment pass at it clearly states "Project Engineer" as the occupation.

I know I'm probably just being hopeful, but perhaps I am only stuck with the 'Assistant' tag during my probation? The contract did say that there will be a salary review upon completion of the probation period.

I'm really appreciating the great feedback from you guys, thanks a million!  notworthy.gif

Hopefully ur "Assistant" tag will be removed after probation and salary increment will be more than 15%( i got 12% increment).
