While the revised salary finally brings the pay to fresh grad levels, they are paying white fresh grad expats more than 2x locals salary for similar trainee/junior trader roles in SG. Can't help but feel a sense of injustice on the different treatment. I have been working to prove myself and get recognised, but its like running a race with a handicap. Was wondering if you had a similar experience and how did you deal with it? General advice very much appreciated as well!
sorry friend, but the ang mo expat pay has always been like this all along in singapore. white counterparts are paid 2x more to counter the effects of foreign exchange. not to forget they still have to pay tax when they are abroad. worship the white.
