I graduated with a degree from a private institution and
naturally I understand that my salary wont be as much as those from
govt universities (NUS/NTU). Fair enough. But how about those
foreign talents paper qualifications?
I had a chat with one of my friend who works in a bank and he
told me that these foreign talents are very highly paid despite the
degree coming from some india university which is world-ranked
16000++!!!! omg I cant believe it. Last year I worked part
time in this organization where this engineer guy accidentally left
his pay slip at the photocopier machine, at age 29, he earned
$6k-$7k++, from some unknown university in the phillipines. I
was like wtf....the hell I study so hard and earn $2k++ for? And
guess what? Months later, the entire Singaporean IT team was
replaced by indian nationals.
Now Im so disillusioned when some of my NUS/NTU friends
gets together to bitch about our salary ranging from $2k-$4k. Is
there a system whereby how these FT's salaries/headcount are
regulated? My friend's department hired the foreign talent
as the head, then slowly the whole department has already
been filled with that FT's country people. I have nothing
against that as if it were me, I would leave the good things to my
own ppl too. But isnt there a way to control it?
There are alot of nus/ntu grads earning more than 6k-7k at age
of 29(more for gals cuz of ns for guy). It depends on what he/she
majored in.
Not sure about IT though, but from my understading(correct me if
i am wrong), our IT grads are not as well-recognised those from
USA, UK, and the fast-developing India.
For those ft u stated, they might have graduated from unkown
uni, but bear in mind, those uni might be one of the best in their
respectively countries. This allows them to gain entry to top-tier
jobs avaliable in their homeland. After all, experience are
equally(if not more) important than cert. of cuz, it's cert that
allows us to gain the valuable exp.
