I feels that I'm underpaid. Seems most other engineers with similar experience are earning more than this. What do you all think? Anybody with similar experience can share some data?

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

10-15K ohmy.gif 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.

Yes, it is very possible for the O&G sector. But I'm more interested in finding out the salary range for those in the electronics/semiconductor industry. So far for those that I know, even very good ones barely hit 10k in just 7 years, and I'm referring to those top MNCs in Penang.

Which state are you working in? I think 3.4k is kinda low for someone your age & experience. But I guess if you're happy then it's ok.

A question for those in the same field/area, my basic pay seem to be a bit low for 8 years experience project manager ?

I don't know how's the salary comparison in Singapore. But if you compare ringgit to ringgit, an 8 years experience project manager with RM5K+ basic is really low IMHO.

but I'm curious, how did you end up getting an annual of 105k if your salary is only 5K+ monthly

How much project commission do you get roughly? I'm guessing the commission from construction should be quite a lot.
