My role is that of financial planning & analysis for the company. Still learning and figuring out my precise job scope, but I have been handling the company's reporting of financials, analysing revenue trends and profit margins etc. Also some ad hoc work like reviewing expense reports and analysing deviations, reviewing credit notes to customers.

I guess I can say I am in the finance 'industry', but maybe finance 'department' is more accurate.

But yes, many companies/banks bid down the salaries of SIM-UOL grads simply because we are private. Other offers I received do not pay well - big banks (back office) pay less than 3k. I am quite lucky to settle down with this one good offer.
