Seriously, in IT nobody gives a hoot on your honours, sad to say. There are many FTs from India, China, Myanmar, Philippines that have better certification than you.
$3.3 for a fresh grad I'll say is good, but having worked so long, I'll tell you monthly pay isn't EVERYTHING.
Your entire package is what's the worth.
3,300 pm
12 days leave
8.30am-6pm
No mobile claims
No dental
No AWS
Only
VB/PB
vs
3,000 pm
14 days leave
9am-6pm
$50 mobile claim
No dental
1mth AWS
VB + PB (maybe 1mth total)
Which one is more worth it?
Obviously you earn lesser, but you get more overall in a package. $3.3 doesn't seem that enticing anymore, does it?
