Question:
- Does my 2nd job salary increment legit?
- What are the others starting salary package from 1st to 2nd jump?
- Anybody from manufacturing industry fresh grad salary to share?
- Will i be too specialise if i continure in manufacturing industry?
Personal opinion
I feel a support role in any industry does not make a difference. My skill are general. Whether in bank, manufacturing, education, IT industry. It will still be transferable.

Well they are offering you an increase and possibly some bonus, what more do you want in a manufacturing environment?
Even if you say support job is the same across all industries (not true IMO), hirers especially those in the lucrative idnustry like banking & oil& gas are generally not interested in people from manufacturing because the culture and way of doing things is too different.
