My boss doesn't own my soul, but my hours are erratic, on occasion working 12-16 hours a day (not always).
I am sure that my peers in bigger firms are earning 1.5 times more, but they are also probably working longer hours. |
Thanks for the realistic and honest sharing. In my opinion, if u are not given employer's
cpf, then your "actual" salary shld be computed as 85% of 10k when compared to other salaried employees across industries since most ppl are given 15% employer's
cpf.
Nevertheless, if this is the 6th year of work since graduation from uni, it's still a great salary!
