The pay is stagnant in places like NUS, A-star, etc. I dont work in Singapore ritenow but I was thinking that MNCs mite pay well. But engineering MNCs are not there in Singapore.
Clearly, engineers who dont make it high in their fields try to change to finance n banking. What I meant is that an average guy in banking perhaps makes a little more than a guy with the same caliber in engineering. I see every other engineer who does see a bright future contemplating a switch to Banking and Finance. Clearly they think they can do better in that area. So, I assume it should be slightly easier than technology.
Some engineers make good money. But the majority dont and the reason being, they are average. And when average people get frustrated n loose enthusiasm, they want to switch to whatever is lucrative. |
That's because most salaries in Singapore have not been increasing much for the last few years. And the reason being the huge foreign influx. You need to grow up, wake up, read more, think more, widen your view, and get out of your well, you little whining frog. How many highly paid Engineers do you know? How many switched to Banking and Finance as you claim? No Engineering MNC in Singapore? You are really ignorant. If everybody makes good money, the cost will be too much for any company. There are many factors that contribute to financial success. I am so glad that you don't work in Singapore, we don't need smart ass like you here.
