dont mind pm me your company name? we are in the same field

Wow that's a lot of AL there

2 years of experience, cannot expect much. BTW not bad that you still can claim OT & have lot of AL.

Just jump when you get a better offer, no point work for peanut.

Is it reasonable for 10k salary as a service delivery manager for IT?

OT amount is low but atleast there is OT.

depends on how many years experience.

Yes, people your age should be earning 10-15K already. Do not settle for any less.

10-15K Really? Are you referring to engineering industry?
Maybe for O&G it might be true, and for a few really outstanding ones.
But I don't think the average engineers with 7 years experience can hit more than 10K.
The data I got is around 7-8K range.

@amandalim
Fresh graduates are getting 5k - 6k for Oil and gas positions. But these positions are based on you being in OIL RIGS or may danger your life (be it short term or in the long run).

7 years to hit more than 10k is fairly simple if you are in those lines. For example, a welding engineer gets paid roughly USD50 - USD300 PER HOUR (depending on level of expertise)
