34 year old earns 771k a year

sgdiehard SG

what is the point of this thread? just another PAP example of how some people can be successful in singapore?

Hocklez SG

they earn so much and u all complain, they earn less u all also complain...

i don even find anything of interest in discussing this topic over here, that's their job, they have the ability, they are paid to do it, why care so much.

ditzy SG

You finish your o levels first then come back here to comment. Laughing

Hocklez SG

Firstly, I already did.
Secondly, I have the right to comment like you did from your sarcastic comment.

No matter who wins, we scientists are the most f*cked.

Doctors start with 60K (after 6 years in U)
Lawyers start with 50K (after 5 years in U)
Scientists start with 40K (after 8 years in U)

Sad

771k a year but only one child?

the PM should give him a call personally and ask him to make another 9.

Laughing

Cystaire SG

Actually based on Singaporean average salary should ask him to make another 31. Twisted Evil

ShutterBug SG

I was wondering, what will happen IF say 60% of Singaporeans are as capable and draw as much as 771k and above per year??

>> will most or all of them take public transport?
>> will they or all go for private medical care?
>> will most or some decide to immigrate now or immigrate and retire abroad?
>> will they all or some of them send their children overseas and never return?

... the imginings can go on endlessly.

But what do you all think?

Is it good that all or most of us earn this much??

I am more concerned..

if he earns $771k a year.

And ministers pay are supposed to be tied to Bankers among other professions.

Why are they earning $1m a year minimum?

embarrassed to admit i actually was an intern in an IB for 3 months.
was in the US finishing my msc and applied as intern. i was doing back end stuff and was plotting charts for this young banker (30+) and we became friends. but seeing how he lived i don't wanna be in his shoes for a million $. we made some scenario analysis and he had to make the call at any hour of the day to maximise returns. any event that impacted the market has to be analysed, be it OPEC cut production or microsoft bought over some website whether day night weekday weekend even when in WC. you can imagine what kind of life that is. talk to him also his thoughts will be elsewhere. the clients would call up 'how's my money doing? did you take advantage of xyz incident?' and to them you're like flies around their pie. you don't tell him you're on leave or in hospital or anything. its like the bank owned his life. one bad call and he's out the door. a few months after my intern finished got an email saying he's fired.

Cystaire SG

Whoa a reality check!

Thanks for this great post. Very Happy

Rolling Eyes are you sure?
i say its the men greed and discontentment.

Enigmatic1 SG

Honestly, it is much cheaper if you simply cut down on the things you want and change your perception towards them. Do you really need to eat at fancy restaurants every other day? Do you really need that new PSP or Plasma TV? Smile

Besides, the price to pay (time and at the beck and call of your clients) is justified by the amount of money the guy in the article earns.

Money is not everything, if you measure happiness or success with money, then you are lacking in some areas. How can a person be happy if he only has 10 million dollars when he expected to have 15 millions? I failed a few biz ventures before, lost money and time, and now i'm starting all over again on a few biz and try again, revenue isn't great, but the satisfaction & fulfilment is fantastic. It's all about the attitude.

I am happy with my job and pay...just to let the ranters know where to go for the high pay job. You can try too, if you qualify Mr. Green

oxford mushroom SG

This chap is not the top in his profession...he's got just 4-5 years' experience, for goodness' sake. His boss would be taking in at least twice that amount.

oxford mushroom SG

people here envious of their pay but don't have the qualifications or skills to join them ma...rant lor..

ShutterBug SG

I RANT not because of envy, I envy NO ONE.

I do not have qualifications to make those kind of money, but with and in what I know, I am still a self-made man with ability to run my own show and survive, outside of the so called GREAT education system. I make more than the average or high income.

I am ranting because I watch and hear my friends and acquaintances cry in misery, to a heartless, and money-crazed gov!!!
