Im currently working in one of the Financial Institution in Singapore. Drawing only a mere $2.5-$3k. This pay was given using my Diploma.
Simultaneously, I am taking my part time degree with 2nd upper honors expected at SIM, UOM. Given the vast majority of people getting 3-4k salary, i'm wondering how should I eventually move into that category upon my graduation.(which I will be in a few weeks time)
Am I quantify to qualify for those MA program in the bank? What I heard was those program are for the ivy league players. Not exactly sure I can break in or even get past the HR resume stage.
Incidentally, I had applied for numerous application with many FI for a few months. Of course, the reply was little to none.
I'm kinda pretty much lost about my whereabouts and in term of career progression, I sort of seems like going no where.
Any sound advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and regards

MAP - Dun waste time, not gonna happen
3-4k salary - Possible given time as career ceiling is now higher. But if your intention is to just march to your boss/ hr and demand they up your pay just because you bought a degree, then again dun waste time, not gonna happen.
No reply after sending SIM CV - A lot of full time SIM grads are struggling to get into a proper perm position even if it's a BO one, so not surprising for a part time to get nothing. A lot of SIM end up in companies that provide outsourcing services to FI, you might want to try your luck there.
Just be patient & keep applying, but be realistic of your expectation also. You can't just buy a part time pte cert and expect to cruise your way to greater heights after that.
