It depends on what field you are specialising in. But generally I think it trends around 5-12k.

LOL... 7k for fresh grad in project support? Maybe if you work outside of Malaysia.

Why not? He got his master overseas and works in MnC bank. @Mundane can get >6k with overseas degree + 1yr exp. Not sure his work is project management or project support though.

OK pay for someone my age, but I feel the role I'm in is integral to the company. Yet those around with more exp get paid much better for equivalent (sometimes less!) contribution.
How can I fight for better pay knowing I'm not "experienced" but am doing the job very well with minimal supervision and guidance?

yeah.... believe in changes... i used to be earning lesser than u with the same period... and things changed immediately after i decided to change.... there can be miracle when you believe...  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

That's not bad, I only reached 4k after 5 years. Thankfully I learnt from my mistakes and hit 5 figures not long after that. I won't be surprised if you hit it sooner than I did. So don't worry too much about it.

I guess which field also quite important isn't it? I am not from those really niche market. I am currently in marketing field. Hard to hit that kind of number unless I got promoted as manager or something. :/

Actually this is not the best offer I received. Another insurance company in Boston offers me more, but I turned them down because money is not my main concern. The scopes and responsibilities of the position are more important, the potential for future opportunities in NYC is way better.

Something I find interesting in this post is that some people here say they are Executive/Sr. Executive level, and I start wondering do we have a different definition of what Executive means. Executive level in my understanding is people above me, probably earning millions a year, with at least an Executive VP title. And I don’t make this up, if you go to global recruiters hiring Executive level people, they are looking for at least USD 300-500k base plus all sort of bonuses/stocks which can stack up to million.

hey everyone

i'm a fresh engineering grad and i'm about to sign a contract at this co. when i applied, i put low expected salary but after comparing with my peers, i believe that i should get higher. can negotiate?

(already got the offer, not yet sign. also, dont worry about the type/reputation/size of company, i'm just asking about the situation) thks

thanks. not demanding but after comparing i genuinely think/know i deserve it. think it'll be harder if i request for increment after i join right?
do you have any suggestion.....

with my law backgroud, would i be qualified to take CFA?

and the number of Tom Dick and Harry who pass all three papers?
