Try applying Pratt and whitney. They sponsor nitec students up to degree if you are good. Promotion is good as everyone have a fair share of chance. In the market right now even the approval holders are earning more than lae.

For myself,I'm a engineer with a approval. We are earning as much as lae but with less responsibility and work. Engineers/technicians working in the mnc companies are earning more then big companies such as st aero/SIAEC. To be Frank,siaec bonus this year is 0.7mth awhile our company is hitting 4-5mth.
