Although my career is not the best among the member here, I will still post my employment history with salary for those who wish to start their career in Singapore especially as IT professional.

Company A (Software QA - Oil And Gas Industry)
24 yo, Apr 2014, SGD2500 (Contract)
24 yo, Jun 2014, SGD2700 (Convert to permanent, 13th bonus + variable bonus)
25 yo, Jan 2015, SGD2980 (Increment + Management Remove 13th bonus - Due to bad oil price)
27 yo, Nov 2017, SGD2980 (Finally resigned because no salary increment, bonus and career progression in 2016 & 2017)

Company B (Software QA - IT service Industry)
27 yo, Dec 2017, SGD3400 (Permanent, 13th bonus + variable bonus)

Company C (Software QA - Gaming Industry)
29yo, Mar 2019, SGD5300 (Contract, no bonus)

Company D (Software QA - Automotive Industry)
30yo, Apr 2020, SGD7000 + 800 (Contract, variable bonus + monthly allowance SGD800)

From my experience in Singapore, jump ship is the best way to increase salary.
For those who want to come Singapore, remember open a Linkedin account, most of the recruiter search candidates from Linkedin. If you are IT professional, especially related to software development (Software engineer, QA, architect, Devops, Tech Consultant)

Is it very hard for experienced msian personal to get a job in sg compared to msian fresh grad?.
