To be honest I earn slightly more now compared to the typical chinatown pay for 1-3 pqe. Difference is that if I stick it out I may end up with $7-10k/ mth in the long run. Whereas in chinatown one is less assured even of that. I'm OK with the work here...the work I do now is perhaps more "support" rather than full on admin (we still have an admin staff to photocopy, post items etc.)
I know that $7-10k is starting pay in some of the better/foreign firms but let's not go there. In chinatown it was $3k/mth freshly called, at least for me.
