my best guess would be those top bankers with a top foreign bank. That kind of pay is no easy feat. Heard there is a top banker here in this thread itself. StandChart ?

NOW you really got me curious? 15-25k SGD??? my eyes almost POP OUT

Depends what kind of banking you go into, but investment banking generally pays very well. Fresh grads in a bulge bracket firm were getting 55K US$ base , 25K bonus back in 2000., not hard to find out the range for first year analysts today.

u got both sectors right... and u miss our aviation too... 15k/month, work 6 days a month.. drives 5 series

not 'a' top banker... but a 'couple' of top banker... as in they are a couple... as in attached

we got a lot of elites here... 1 just collect royalty and dota every night, 1 just sell petrol, 1 count $$$ and with wife bake cookies, one buy big bangalow 2 cars and 12 months bonus, 1 brewer and bbq food, IT expert 8k fresh grad, pilot... a lot of amazing people if u get to know them... now all around 10-25k/month... known as the 8 pillars of msian hardwork

of course there're some failed ones like me... kuli...

singapore is a place of opportunities... if you work hard you can join the elites.... or not, u will end up like me... work for sakai sushi

Don't they sound like the malays in malaysia to you?
They want malays to dominate the economy but they don't want to work hard for it.
They complain the malaysian chinese are racist in employment opportunities but they don't realise they lack even basic communication skills.
They want more money but they don't want to work for it.
They want others to talk in languages they can understand but they don't want to learn another language.
Basically they just want to sit down, do nothing and wait for the money, lots of money to drop from the sky.
When they don't get it, they blame the gov who is currently bending backwards to their every whim and fancy

What company u work with? My experience fit to my role. What a wasted? Degree in Business work as secretary? Usually, secretary and HR fields kwons as low paid compared to others jobs. That's truth... She is very smart girl only manage to get a low paid for her job in sg!...

As a fresh grad, maybe not. As a degree holder with FIVE years experience like yourself, you should be looking at way higher than 3k which is like ... fresh grad pay
Half the taikors posting here like seantang, mackiddo, keelim, mercury are elites earning 15-25k+++ monthly. Don't assume that Malaysians are universally low paid in SG because of your ONE friend. Although I understand how you feel cos I am low paid bank clerk as well.

[/quote]

I hope I can get!... But, that's not under my control... As u said, the 3k and above salary requested by freshgraduated should be those graduands from Singapore University. Others countries degrees seems like low paid.. I've 2 case to share with you.
1. My friend hold Master of Engineering and Bachelor Degree of Engineering from UK! He got 2 years plus experiences in engineering field at KL. He got an offer as engineer from MNC in SG!... His salary is below 3K SGD with EP!... He feels happy with the offered coz the engineering job that he worked in KL is much more low piad in MYR compared to his current job in SG!... He is working in SG 2year alerady!...
2. Another friend hold bachelor degree from public university M'sia with 10 years experiences at KL (5 years relevant experiences to the job she applied and another 5 years from others industries)! She only got below 2K SGD job offered in SG!... She rejected the offer and continue to work in KL!...

Is that all the Oils and Gas jobs in SG is very high pay, high bonuses and good remunerations packages?
Oh... I worked in Banking before!... I dislike the job!... I found out General banking experiences is only applicable to jump within the same banking line! Because banking skills really cannot apply to others jobs! Unless, yours from investment banking/ forex/ financial consultant/ banking sales jobs! That's why I jump out from banking and do not want to apply banking job anymore!...

Everywhere is the same.
Therein lies the problem when the sense of entitlement is off the charts. Everyone is looking for the best bargain. They want the best quality with a little to pay. When they didn't get what they want, it's just convenient to point finger.

I am also sick of SPRs saying if the population were to increase to the projected figure, they might have to take the train like in India (sardine in a can). Sharing crowded facilities with other races (yes specified race & nationality)..

how many of those actually really earn that >10k? (like 120k+ per annum )

i only can hit that if i go fishing at sea

boss, which sakae sushi branch belongs to you?

if ur frens wanna shortchange themselves, it is up to them.
master with 2 years exp, below 3k....degree with 10 years exp albeit 5 years relevant with a less than 2k job....this is what we call market spoiler.
u are killing your own market.
how the hell do you justify 10 years...heck, lets say 5 years exp with less than 2k salary
even if a starting pay of 1.6k (for fresh grad) and 100 bux increment for 5 years...one would have exceeded 2k and heck, that can already be considered a worst case scenario.
i am sorry to say this, but your fren(s) is/are dumb and do not how to value themselves or they are not very good frens who are lying to you.

What's happening here is that you've somehow only been meeting the bottom feeders (of receiving SG job offers) and assuming everyone else is also getting that same low pay. Go check out some salary surveys to get a better idea of what Singapore salaries should be like.


seantang has a secretary. anyone high rank enough to have a secretary would be earning big bucks.
keelim is in IB, and they get paid craploads of cash.
mackiddo is senior guy in O&G.

So yes, I'm sure they all earn at least 10k per month

no need to pop out la.. you think Malaysian cannot be expat mehh??

Sakai Suhsi get 3k for dish washer right ? hehehe

other than suryer from private company, take a look at the followingGov Data.

Went to TT some sgd back home, rate is good 2.49
But heard shortage of ringgit.
Change early bro.

Then what field are u in right now?

I just finished degree in accounting and finance, thinking to apply jobs in sg but not sure what kind of jobs yet.. some seniors told me that if i got a job which is too specialized in banking line, it would be very hard to apply for some other jobs in the future, like what u said in your post.

aih, i need some advice please.

2.49? where?

ok wrong calculation is 2.47

guess your snr not doing very well

Oo..2.47 also not bad, but i heard that CNY is coming, so the rate is dropping, is that true? and where is the location you get 2.47?
