I would not go further divulging more details to avoid possible identity exposure and endless argument but I stand on what I said . No way this conglomerate gonna give you market-rate salary , as it has already been mentioned here, jobstreet's company reviews and glass door which I already reviewed before going up the hills . If you take the claimed "less than 4-month bonus" into account , it may make you feel better. Say a fresh degree holder is getting 2.8K , its 2.5k nett. Saving for 3 years would give you 100k ?
