Based on my knowledge, a qualified manager with about 6 years working experience is about 15k. Since you mention your manager is equals AM, I think it's about there.. With a promotion you'll be able to hit over 15k. Of course, that depends on which company you're joining as well. Some companies (2 of the big 3) can seriously pay very good package from what I heard.

I'm changing job from mech design engineer to manufacturing engineer. Salary of rm5k, with 5 yrs working experience (4 yrs design, 1 yr production) is the salary on par with market rate?

Hi bro, I'm also a mechanical design engineer but with 2.5 years experience. Just jumped into my current company a few months back with salary around 4.5k. May I know where are you located and how much % increase did you get jumping from design to production? How's the production life compared to design?

There's not so much choice in terms company for mechanical design in Malaysia. From what I observe, it's either you got promotion once in 2-3 years or jump to another company is the fastest way to boost salary.

For the Bachelor Computer Science specialize in Software Engineering fresh graduate who plans to work in Singapore, what is the range of their salary? >2.4ksgd?

Instead of the salary, actually what I more concern is the technical test.... saw many different technical test and those questions are hard, probably screw up...

easily more than 3.5k SGD if you are first class honor

For starting job salary in SG (IT), it depends heavily on which uni you graduate from

Mind sharing which uni you’re from?
The expected range differs greatly

Hello. I realized there are many IT seniors here. I worried I choose wrong IT field since I am fresh graduate right now.
Now I'm in internship as a software tester but I found that there are less job opportunities for tester in Malaysia. The salary of tester < developer. Should I change to Software Engineer or Developer in future? I may stay in current company as graduate trainee-tester (18 months) after internship. If I accept the offer as GT (salary around 3k), I only can promote after 18 months. Compared to other friends, they might be higher position in other company after I finish my GT life.

And you need to be prepared for life as a software tester as the work that you do may be repetitive in nature.

So should I change to Software engineer? My tester friend told me there's higher challenging and pressure for Software engineer compared to tester. I believed higher pressure and challenging = earn more money.

Actually there is future for tester.
But you need to upskill yourself to do “test automation”, not just create test cases and do manual testing etc.
API calls, integration test etc all can be automated, and companies (even Google/Facebook) needs developers to code those test automations

It can be lucrative career IF you learn the right skill sets

I tried before doing test automation. But the effort doing it is quite huge and it is usually a one off usage thing, unless you create test automation script for regression testing purpose, which is repetitive in nature.

Else I should say manual testing is still the way to go as of today.

Software engineer is more challenging but the work hours may be longer. I would say go for it if you have the correct skill set. Else you can go into the ‘niche’ side of IT (i.e. project manager or business analyst). Such jobs are few and far between so you have to be really good at what you do to excel in this profession.

Underpaid, but very hard to jump

I would strongly suggest you to get a Bachelors Degree if you intend to continue this line, as engineer will have much greater future and salary potential

Maybe consider a part time degree

Yes, I am in my 3rd year of doing part time degree which is half way through.

But I am not sure what would the path be after I completed my degree later on.

Awesome! glad to hear that, I'm sure it will open up many doors for you.
Don't worry

Dont worry, you will definitely get a very good increment to AT LEAST 5k with 5 years + degree owner, which is almost 100% increment for you lol
