Yes. Exactly right. I used the SGD conversion rate at that time, which was a lot higher than now. My salary was considered good at the time, but not extraordinary for an IT job at one of the largest tech firms in the world. In fact, my starting salary was only slightly better than when I was a summer intern there. Other Singaporeans who went into banking had higher starting salary than me. What I did discover is that in tech firms, your salary doesn't rise very quickly no matter how well you do.
