It really depends on how much you have contributed to the company over the years and whether the boss appreciate the work you have put in.
2.7k is fairly low pay for diploma (engineering) holders of 7 years exp.
I am a diploma holder, working in engineering (electronics/semicon industry) for 9 years.
My salary increments:-
2002 - $1200/mth (starting > economy is in very bad shape due to the dot com bubble)
2003 - $1800/mth
2004 - $2500/mth
2005 - $2800/mth
2006 - $3800/mth
2008 to 2011 - $3300/mth (economy is bad = pay cut).
car allowance $800 excluded.
After 9 years of travelling around almost the whole of Asia in my previous job, I decided to switch career this year and was now doing sales.
My humble view is, either you upgrade your cert. from diploma to degree thru' part time studying or switch line like me to sales (those with commission type) to get a better pay.
