But, then your 2010 increase not bad. 400+, I guess largely due to promotion.
And 2011 without promotion up 300+, much more than your first 3 years.

Although start slow, looks like you did pretty well. Average 200+ increase per year (plus a promotion). That's more than 5% increase per year from your starting salary.


Cham la. Looks like must weasel my way into financial world already.
But I have a friend in citibank, said that after his first year, average increment @ citi of 2%. Maybe for every 1 big banker out in this forum, there's 99 people at a citi/uob/dbs cubicle fighting for scraps. 2 percent!? omg, if my 3K salary gets 2%, only 60 bucks. Be damn sad.

Usually no cubicles in banks. Just desks only. Even my boss's boss earning 300k sits along same row of desks as me. Those swaggy traders earning big time in dealer room also sit at desks only.

When I was in DSTA, my cubicle was super big and luxurious.

My new theory: Cubicle dwellers typically earn less. The bigger it is the lower the pay!
