Yea, the market is insanely competitive now

Senior used to earn 10k easily to now just mere 6k

Phew… that’s pretty sad

is this for singapore?
sometime i felt it is "too good to be true" that the company i work do salary revision few time without being asked, are they really desperate on talent retention? what if they felt i am too expensive to keep, they can just kick me out without second doubt at all.

not only for SG though, it's happening all over the world now

APAC, EMEA, USA... the golden era has passed

i guess the demand during pandemic was too much

that time it was overinflated, every company wants to hire tech people, so they willing to spend like they have unlimited money

but yea, at that time tech companies were doing extremely well, i was in a company from 2018 - 2022, before pandemic, they were only doing 80k-150k a month, then during 2021-2022, suddenly hit 300k-400k a month

Yep the pioneers earned more had better quality life stronger purchasing power. Technically young gen paying of derivative debt of old gen through inflation and over supply of talent.

yea, the new gen is pretty fucked right now. they have to compete with the older gen that is willing to lower their expectations. having to work 3-4 jobs is pretty normal these days.

companies are happy now get to hire senior levels with junior pays

The demand during pandemic was because only certain companies benefitted greatly. So they looked to hire/poach talent from other companies. This in turn made other companies lose talent and have gaps to fill. Thus an artificial demand was created.

Most of us in the industry knew this would be temporary and layoffs would happen shortly after. Overall though, the industry still pays very well.

true, good times won't last forever. eventually, things will normalise. I guess now things are starting to normalise. I guess I should be happy that I still get a WFH job. Can't complain already.

agree with this observation, overall the tech companies are on cost saving mode. very prudent on how they spend now, no more pandemic driven splurge.

now with Trump back to White House, not sure if it will create more uncertainties and how this will affect tech jobs.

indeed. Now all the great perks are gone. Used to get things like ESOP, work from anywhere, unlimited leaves, great insurance coverage, flexible allowance, etc and many more
