no need to compare pay la..as long as u have no issue surviving...hahaha

Age: 28
Job Title : Managerial position
Education: Degree in I.T (1st class)
Location: Spore
Tenure : Permanent
Company: Foreign bank
Basic salary: approx. 7k SGD

wah...13k? then how much u manage to save per month in ringgit?

I think it will be fair, if given the salary and standard of living, the most important is how much u can save per month
Is your salary considered as above average in stockholm compared to those working there as well in same field?

not really a lot then. If you work in Spore, you can get a lot more than this. Last time i used to draw 2 salaries as my salary is paid every month in RM and i was given fixed month allowance in SG, with accomodation provided in a high rise condo and etc. But now changed to a permanent job in Spore. Manage to save only 12k nett a month after all the expenses...=(

you should look at the career advancement and bonuses/environment. If you could find them there...why not, you have nothing to lose, MSIG is a good reputation company and next time if you intend to move to other company, it will be more convincing. At the same time, if there is only few hundred difference, working with a more stable company is always the better choice especially when times are bad now.

15k cant save you from the somalia pirates..hahahaha
envy that you can always see the sea, while i only sit in air cond room and driving around the city, sometimes sitting at the boring coffee bean enjoying my drink..damn! im about your age, and maybe will join O & G later? at least double that of what you getting now? i dun think im satisfied as well...life is hard...

kevin, you are breaching banking secrecy. 24 years old and ur career is gone!

yeah..7k and 3.2% is so small...better change job.

how much u plan to save b4 tie the knot? haha

i got 6 years working experience and only manage to be manager level in the 6th year. hahaha...

dont look at title. Last time used to work as Assistant Vice President in a foreign bank but the salary just peanuts....
now the title not so revealing but salary is more than peanuts...hahaha...never look at title...

used to be a job hopper, but again ask yourself, you will reach a level with age and all you did all these years were hopping from one job to another that offered you higher salary? Where is the career advancement thing and your exposure to further advance to getting a high paid job? Think of it. Choose a company that provides you with higher exposure and credibility and not only a company that asks you to do the same thing with few hundreds more.

not bad for a project manager in banking industry. which bank is it..mind telling? And what rank are you since you mention you are doing project management in IT department I believe.
