What are your other options available to you? If you have better options, then you are underpaid and should choose the better option. If your other options are worse or you have no other options - then there's no question about being underpaid.
I dont have other option. I only went to this interview for singapore .. apparently they are the only company who replied among applications i have sent out T.T ...

What is your capability?
Good to take the 2 years bond @ 2.3k for wiping table only, all those food court cleaner get less than that.
If you can do real engineering works then you should do some analytical thinking here.
Not much analytical thing to do here. It's either take up the challenge and work for 2 years there or wait for other option.

Sounds like this company is trying to squeeze you dry. I'm sure there are other better options around...keep looking!
FYI, I started at 2.5k fresh grad and was increased to 2.75k after confirmation. I only have a bachelor eng degree.
Don't take my after confirmation salary as an absolute figure. My boss was happy with my performance so he gave me a 10% increment. Yours may vary.
May I know what engineering are you ? Civil ?

Bond or contract for 2 years? Permanent staff? You can get good bonus if you work in shipyard
It's bonded for 2 years. It's considered as permanent staff.

Most companies related to the marine line pay their staff below market rate wages as evident by you having masters but only getting less then what the median salary is to be expected from a degree hold, much less a masters.
Since its a shipyard company or a company whose business is within the marine field but most of your work is done within a shipyard. Could it be either keppel shipyard, drydocks world shipyard, sembawang shipyard or SMOE, PSA, jurong shipyard, ST Marine or PPL shipyard. Take your pick.
Mine is subsidiary of keppel group. It is said that i dont get some benefits as keppel's employees do =( (most probably the lucrative yearly bonus).

Got masters should at least aim 3k pay for start ba...Anyway I wouldn't take any bond unless very good pay
I agree with you ..... I dont expect 3k given that i have no experience . But 2.3k is too low to me .
