ya. my current mindset is to be ambitious but within my limits ( obviously im not gonna apply for a snr mgr role cos i know im not there yet ) and be grateful for what im currently drawing. just as i know there are ppl younger than me getting more money, i also know that im earning more than some ppl older than me. just like what you said, if we want to get more pay, we have to work to get it, no guts no glory hahaha

SINGAPORE: The average net monthly earning of taxi drivers in 2014 was S$3,173 for a single-shift operation, and S$5,933 for a two-shift operation, said the Minister of Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin on Thursday (Mar 5).

Mr Tan said this in a written response to Member of Parliament for Tampines GRC Irene Ng Phek Hoong’s Parliamentary question on the average annual salary of taxi drivers in Singapore. Ms Ng also asked about the numbers and educational qualifications of taxi drivers.

In response, Mr Tan said that as of December 2014, "about 98,000 Singaporeans held a Taxi Driver’s Vocational Licence", of which "about 56,000 of them were registered with taxi companies".

He added that about four in five were aged 50 and above, and over nine in 10 possessed non-tertiary educational qualifications.

“We do not have data on how many taxi drivers were formerly in PMET (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) jobs,” Mr Tan said.

I have quit my job as I don't agree with boss' working style.

Should I tell recruiters I have quit when looking for jobs?
What should I give for reasons for leaving?

but not good enough compared to peers. It's quite demoralizing when I hear about my peers in banking earning around $150k pa (branch sales manager) and even $120k (12 months before bonus) for fund houses..

Are you only comparing to your more successful peers? How many actually manage to get >100k?
