$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? |
Actually AWS and bonus makes a lot of difference, so I agree it is very important to understand how much bonus will one get realistically.
For e.g. like public sector they go on 16 months total package and very stable from year to year compare to joining a bank back office with 12 months and 1-2 variable (highly unstable), the monthly from bank will need to be at least 20% higher for the whole deal to be the same.
A lot of fresh grads just look at monthly basic and think aws/bonus & benefits are unimportant and just extras. Those who work in many companies before will know must look at total.
