My ex-supervisor work for 6 years in semiconductor manufacturing, and his salary is about 7k SGD. He started at 3k as junior engineer, fresh out from uni. At that time he also got an offer from KLA Tencor, offering him 4k something.. Anyway semiconductor manufacturing is a very demanding job, and I personally find that the money is not enough to compensate the effort we put in the work, thus I quitted.

6 years can get 7k SGD in semicon field, very well done oledy........but must perform extremely good and in management or high techinical level..................

normal engineer in good oil and gas MNC with normal performance with 6 years experience easilly get 7kSGD oledy...


sucks la semicon...

Lol, must be WD.

Actually don't have to perform very good also. Slightly above average will do, because the turnover rate is very high, not much people stick around. So whoever stays behind are easily recognized by upper management.

The good years of semiconductor are over, back then the bonuses were great, like every 3 months. Company annual dinner first prize was BMW cars, invited LeeHom to sing in D&D also..

There are rumors that semiconductor industry will have a big comeback in a few more years but I doubt it would be THAT great. The key of manufacturing is profit and profit only. For that sole reason people are moving to low cost country and low cost labour and massive production.. Workload will increase exponentially but the pay wouldn't.. Oh well, I'm glad I went out.. I was at progressing at almost 4k if I have stayed for 2 years(senior engineer).

Btw, my supervisor is only in junior management in technical section. Management or high technical easily fetch 8k and above. For expats, up to 20k after crazy allowances.

For oil and gas, fresh grad is already fetching 3.5 to 4k..

come on la, WD is not semicon field la...WD is hard disc...no really consider as semicon...


Added on February 2, 2012, 5:05 pmeven become a oil and gas offshore technician, with same years experience, the pay is higher than engineer in semicon field....
