I noticed that whenever someone post something like they earn $4-5k when they are in their late twenties or thirties, there would be someone who proclaimed that these earning are below average.

But I check the calculations at Salary.sg and Income IRAS, and noted that actually by earning $4-5k at about 30 yrs old are somewhat at the top 10% of their cohort! And I have not taken into account their bonuses and allowances.

So is it based on personal experience that the remarks are made?

And I see these posts quite common in Salary.sg.

These, in turn, pointed out that the people who commented are earning even higher, maybe top 5% of their cohort. Wow!

Actually, at age 30, the average income is somewhere at $3500 (including bonuses)

As such, am I right to say that most of the visitors in this forum are affluent in wealth, education? Or else, they got submarine cables that enable them to have networks in order to climb the corporate ladder.
