Chances are extremely slim and the headhunters only earn comms on successful candidates so no one will risk it. Fellow peers are earning at least twice/thrice as much and yes i know one shouldnt compare but u would feel really small during gatherings. To think all graduated same time with similar qualifications and one wrong move to wrong industry/Co...... almost cast in stone liao... Sad man..

Hey

Don't give up. I am an engineer. Started in engineering for 4 years. Switch to finance for 2 years. Didn't work out. Move back to engineering with the same pay. Now, after 8 years, I am in a general management position.
