Might as well share it here:
Job Title : Geologist
Job Description : Assisting Geotech engineer in Site Investigation work, design slope and ground treatment with minor terrain mapping involved.
Years spent in company : 2 years 5 months
Company : Geotech Consultant Firm
Industry : Geotechnical Engineering Consultant
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Fresh
Experience before joining : None. I even got accepted before my graduation.
Age: 25
Highest paper qualification/ education background : Degree
Salary : RM3k
Benefit: Insurance, bonus (2 months), some token for birthday (usually rm100 Jusco Voucher), Company annual trip.

I think I might be a little underpaid here. Plus, my experience in geotechnical engineering won't get me many places with my degree, unless I take another degree in civil engineering. Any thoughts?

What is the difference between geotechnical engineering and civil engineering?

well in civil, u have a lot of sub-subject. People with degree in civil engineering can choose either they want to do structure, drainage, highway, bridge, geotech. Its a general thing. While geotech is the sub-class of civil. in Geotech, mostly u deal with piling stuff, ground treatment, site investigation work, settlement analysis. basically all ground improving work as a base for building.

3) Professional Engineer / Licensed Electrical Worker / Licensed Plumber

Construction field required endorsement from them. Just one stamp on your drawings few hundred dollar, image how many drawings and it depends to your construction scale. Easily one month more than tens of thousands. Or witness some testing or power turn-on, stand there few hours, easily earn few hundred to a thousand dollar.

You can proceed with the interview while doing/collecting your PDP points. Once u pass your interview then only the PDP comes into picture.

BEM now got new exams for submission person? Last time I heard is through interview by IEM. Now BEM got another IR route through PAE? Then another call PEC for submission person?

New regulation passed by parliament in Feb. New exam not imposed yet. Always have 2 route, either through BEM or IEM. Nevertheless, BEM will ask IEM to conduct the interview even if u go tru PAE. PCE not yet in place.

If you have just gotten ur Grad Eng from BEM this year, means u still need 3 years as BEM only recognize ur working experience once you registered. Good luck.

Thank you for clarification senior.

Lol this is dam low. Is 5-6k the average for a 28yr old degree holder engineer in SG?

Oh ya, don't say 1SGD=3MYR, u earn n live/spend in SG n u only save/bring back RM.
*
Nope. Used to earn 10+ k sgd when I was that age, that time the industry is good, working hour is quite long though.

Industry slow down now, chose to slow down the career too and focus on other things. Still working for SG, don't draw as much but spend 2/3 of the month in MY working at home. You can say this is a better example of working in SG, spending in MY, where the 1 sgd = 3 myr is applicable.

Yup engineer is no where near finance people or other profession. Have a friend at similar age but earning 2-3 time as much doing banking and working less hour.
