I'm an IT fresh graduate (software engineering). My salary is 2.5k. I think my salary islower than other fresh graduates. One of my friends managed to get a 3.1k job. Fyi, my technical/practical knowledge is better than her. On the other hand, her academic result is better than mine.

I have 2 questions:

1. Does anyone know the current average salary for an IT fresh graduate?
2. Is it appropriate to ask my company for $500 salary increment? So that, I am qualified for ep application.

Thanks in advance.

You and your friend are in the same company ?
If not, how you compare your company pay grade to other company ?
Just curious. nod.gif

I'm a fresh graduate working in a startup (small company)

I'm a UM student, a computer science degree holder (second upper).

I'm holding a S-pass. My current salary is 2.8k. I would like to apply PR. Is possibility of getting PR application approved lower? Considering:
1. small and new company
2. S-pass holder and salary
3. Education background

Should I wait for salary increment before applying PR? Thank you

Company size do affect the success rate. Looking at the Form 4A, need your company input regarding their capital and annual revenue etcetc (correct me if i am wrong).

It is quite true.

underground_8, company background plays important role in PR application.

I think I should either wait for salary increment or join a bigger company.

How much salary increment is expected for a software engineer (fresh graduate) usually? $500 - $1000? I know it is subjective and varies in different company policies and employee performance. It will be great if I can have a rough idea in this matter. Let's say I deliver my duty on time in minimal supervision.

Thank you

Yes it is very subjective, but if you are really good, for your next jump, you can expect 30%-40% increase, but do note that, if you are jumping from EP -> PR, you need to take in calculation for the future CPF deduction (20%)
thats why most of the Singapore fresh graduate are having 2.8-3k as starting. biggrin.gif
