If this is true, $90k per annum isn't exactly fantastic.

Lecturers in the Poly gets paid on all 12 months, enjoy AWS and performance bonus.


I am from RP, have a masters and an academic staff (not Senior) and i make 7k a month
this is 1/2 of what a Uni lecturer makes but I do not have a PhD so i cannot complain.

what i am unhappy about is the PhD academic staff who do the same work as me, but draw higher salary by virtue of having a PhD.

so if there is any advice i can give, get a PhD before joining a polytechnic.
everyone has a PhD now.
