Worked for 12 years in IT. Increment slow. Now only teach 5.1k but only to learn that fresh grad in IT last year getting 4.4k.
Can't get a break..
I hope you don't face the same fate as me.
Those got in last year also not good cause this year increment will be low. You want to change job everywhere also low.
Life is not fair I learned it. So I'm not fair to my colleagues at work too.

That's the same as me. Graduated with FCH from
NUS but couldn't find a job that pays 3.3k at that time. Settled for a 2.8k role at FMCG consultancy and had a few years of wage freeze. Count yourselves lucky if you have a high-paying job.
It's a vicious world out there now. Management isn't afraid of culling- and the freshies are usually the ones first to be hit (contrary to popular belief that senior mgt will be axed first)
