I am in your situation as well for my case i had worked for my current company for years and i actually got a better offered but the company is willing to meet halfway so i stayed.It depends on you the grass is not alway green on the other side unless your future job is for a MNC company.The reason why i stayed is the fact is closer to home (1 hour travel) and my new job needs at least (2 hours).My advise is maybe to get some freelance jobs outside of your company.

Well In my opinion you are still young and can still go and try new things,and since you are good at sales you will do all right just work hard and find the right boss that can teach you.

Well you are doing ok.I was like you same salary but i was stagnant due to bad economy but once my gf got pregnant now my wife.I had to be prepared by getting more outside income so it actually pushed me to do better.Just give yourself another few years eventually your income will grow.

I’m not from the IT field but I’ve been based in Singapore for the past 30 years, so I can offer a local perspective on the job environment at the moment: and it’s bad. Officially, tens of thousands of locals have been let go, and 3 times the number of foreigners. Unofficially, who knows.

It might be hard to for a fresh grad to look for a job as employees are pressured to hire locals.

Just to let you know so you can make a balanced decision. Good luck!
