Estimate your peak annual income
I find that this is a good way to exchange salary info with friends and relatives without revealing too much about one’s current salary.
It’s also less intrusive to ask someone to estimate his or her peak yearly earnings, than to outright ask about current pay, net worth, bank balance, etc.
(Another good way is to ask about investments, eg how many properties, what shares, etc but I digress.)
Ok, I’ll start the ball rolling by giving my own estimate and those estimates from my social circle:
Middle manager in a small MNC
300k
SQ pilot
400k
Bank commercial loans
700k
Treasury / potential CFO
500k
Technology manager
300k
Civil service, peaking at director level
270k (15k x 18 months)
What’s your own estimate of your peak annual income?
