1st year: part time role in a startup, S$1,000/mth working 50%
2nd year: converted to contract role in same startup, S$3,200/mth
3rd year: promotion, S$3,650/mth
4th year: moved to MNC, S$4,400/mth
5th year: no change, S$4,400/mth
6th year: moved to another MNC, S$6,750/mth contract role
7th year: same role, pay increment of approx 10% to S$7,400/mth

I am not a manager and have no direct reports. My opinion is that engineering roles certainly still does have the potential to pay decently well. In fact, I just went for an interview for a similar quality role in a healthcare MNC, where they revealed that they have a 5 figure monthly budget!
