U sound like my
mom who only remember the payscale of her time, 10 years ago when she was given golden handshake coz she's too expensive to keep.
Believe it or not I asked a ministry HR how much FCH
NTU Gross now... 3.5k maximum at the best paid dept. no leeway upwards.
I asked because my cousins believe FCH no less than 4.. And they are waiting it out gaming at home. I asked them where their numbers come from, they said recruiter at their career fair... These salesmen say anything to get youngsters to fill forms for their KPI..
3-5 years ago was when cryptocurrency was rising, many industries booming, no such thing as adapt n grow, career future... Now everybody no jobs, so many involuntary part time... You are lucky to jump at the right time. I'm not saying u r lying... Many ministries have beautiful cars inside not shocking if their base indeed is 8k. Now these fellas everyday bootlick their boss n pray until retirement.
There are many youngsters here who lack context, don't make them misunderstand and peg themselves too high until zero calls.1/QUOTE]
Self entitlement mentality which is hard to avoid these days. Some companies do pay 4k and above but how many can get in?
My company does not pay fresh grad 4k but is still highly sought after due to the good culture.
I know of fresh grads who have been working 12 to 14 hrs but taking 9k onwards.
