CynthiaLady SG

2,2 K is already high for a Dip holder.. I have Engineering dip holder friends earning only 1.5K total

las time around the 90s , dip holder was starting salary at least 1.8K

CynthiaLady SG

ten yrs ago high lah, at least 1.8K in private sector

browniebaobao SG

2.2k is a lot liao leh..

ur 2.2k gt include allowance + commission/incentives?

CynthiaLady SG

i started working in 1997. I was Fresh Dip Grad from NP. Starting was 1.8K. The thing is that, If you in private sector, prepare to start back from scratch if you get retrenched ect..ten yrs ago is was ok as still can hop jobs (many ppl were doing it anyway) . now can meh?

798 SG

dat is min cap, when job market is poor. these days are plain lucky if u can get 1.6K for ur starting salary.

blowfish SG

care to share your exp now? 10 yr already did you upgrade to get a degree?

CynthiaLady SG

yez, what you are saying is also true. nowadays 1.1k -1.4k only. Job market poor? But when it improve our singapore salary still the same leh..

if he company not happy here they just pack bag and leave to other cheaper place like India and China.

CynthiaLady SG

did not upgrade. why asking?

dont feel itis necessary to do it at this point of time. because job sector got rather unpredictable after 2001

CynthiaLady SG

When i started in 1997 it was all the big players still growing, The IT boom and internet ect ect.

it w as normal for grads to join big companies like Sony, Singtel, M1 , Seagate

those bosses are as stingy as hell, they know that they can look out for foreign graduates whose salaries are cheaper n more committed. Neutral
