Yes. Basic is not much difference while you are bonded. Don't really expect much growth during this period. Bonus varies depends on your performance. I have seen as high as 12 months.

After your bond ends, that is when you face your biggest jump. If you're good, you will be approach by headhunters and there are cases where your basic can jump from 4k to 8-10k. I know a few people getting 15-20k basic while just being in the industry for about 5 years.

It really depends on how much effort you wanna put in. If you want to go back home at 6 everyday, then don't expect much. The ones that always complain about their basic being low is usually this same group of people.
