I am in the media industry and I am a Media Director in a global agency with portfolios in other scopes of work as well. I am getting approx $12K.

That is very very good package for a late 28s guy..

i have a Master degree in Biomedical Engineering, i only earning 3k plus..

The lesson i learn is, dun compare, compare only make u complain, complain lead to negative attitude, then u lose everything..

hmmm... if i earn 12 k per month...muahahah
