It really depends on what you are looking for over long term. A SME like e-cop might give you short term pay increases especially if they are desperate enough. Conversely a reputable mega MNC management program will unlikely give you increase as they are not short of top talents who desperately try to get in.

But it is quite undeniable that the career options e-cop can offer are very limited. My best guess is even if you can become the GM/CEO of e-cop, the pay is probably similar to a regional manager in a mega MNC.

If you ask experienced headhunters, they will tell once you reach mid career the MNCs and local blue chips tend to be selective and are usually adverse to hiring SME people due to a variety of reasons which include cultural differences, outdated knowledge on systems platform & business process, lack of overseas exposure and inability to manage complex matrix relationships.

In summary, it's all about what your long term goals are. If you just want to get increases fast, easier to stand out among your colleagues and don't mind cruising on a lower glass ceiling, SME might be a good alternative. If you want big exposure, an environment in which you compete and interact with high caliber people and don't want to limit your options too early, then I would advise you stay put.
