The five highest-paying sectors in Singapore are banking
and finance; oil, gas and petrochemicals;pharmaceuticals;
semiconductors; and information technology, according to a new
report by staffing firm Kelly Services.
Its 2015 Singapore Salary Guide also highlighted several jobs as
particularly high-paying.
Network and systems engineers can
make between $4,000 and $7,000 on average a month. For application
development consultants, this is between $5,000 and $7,000,
while for financial
accountants, it is between $4,500 and $9,500.
Supply chain managers can earn between $5,000 and $14,000, while
for compliance managers, it is between $10,000 and $12,500.
These figures apply to experienced professionals.
Four other things Kelly Services says about the Singapore jobs
market:
Industries that are expected to grow this year are banking and
finance, life
sciences, supply chain, procurement and logistics,
and advanced manufacturing.
In banking and finance, changes in financial regulations have
raised demand for compliance managers
and risk managers. Compliance managers can expect to earn $10,000
to $12,500 monthly, while risk managers can look forward to
salaries of $12,500 to $14,000.
The entry of new players into the banking scene has also increased
demand for relationship managers. They can expect to earn $7,500 to
$18,000 per month.
In healthcare, there is growing demand for those with expertise in
the laboratory, technical sales and regulatory affairs. This takes
into account that eight of the top 10 pharmaceutical and medical
technology firms have based their headquarters in Singapore.
In information
technology, there is growing demand for mid-level IT
professionals, with businesses increasingly concerned with cyber
security.
