I also think asking for 3.3K is also reasonable, although I am not sure if I want to hold out for 3.5K, if possible, when i apply for senior executive positions.
your asking of 3.3k for 5 years is low.

suggest that u stop looking at govt linked organisations and educational sector as your overseas uni degree is as good as a diploma to them. this was the case for my sis who grad with a distance learning degree from murdoch.

MNCs, GLCs and SMEs may take u in as a local degree grad's equal IF u can convince them at your interview. this was for my case, where i entered with higher salary than some of my local uni grads colleagues.

all the best.
