In general you should be looking at at least 1k+ bump every year if your pay is less than 8k.

So if you start at 5k, you should aim for 6k next year, then 7k, etc. Once you hit around 8-9k then yes, it slows down for obvious reasons. No one keeps hopping and get 20% every time lol you will eventually hit a salary cap unless you're some god tier bro, can get director level then sure, you can probably hit 20-30k per month.

gong simi lan jiao???

No those are different.

I'm talking about your cookie cutter FO roles, of course not IB, Sales and trading, there's a reason why people say "IB" instead of just "FO".

You: WTF bro KUM GONG cannot stay longer than 2 years??

Lil bro if you wanna stay for 5-6 years and be like the miserable people in the company, always asked to do extra work because "senior, 5+ years in same company so must know everything already" and get lower pay than new joiners who are the same rank as you, doing less work because "new joiner" then go ahead lol

You shouldn't have any jobs where you stay less than 1 year. You're better off just omitting it and say you took a career break or some family issues, whatever. Quitting in a few months into a job just gives an impression that you might be one of those who failed their probation and was asked to leave. Especially if you have more than 1 job where you are only there for a few months

And staying for 2 years in your 20s is ok. But once you reach your 30s and you start getting more senior then no. No company wants the hassle of replacing a senior every 2 years.

I am 52 years old, working in OCBC for past 28 yrs. I am just a senior branch manager, earning 9.6K per month. I am happy with my current position, come to office at 10 AM, leave at 6 PM.

Daily operation in a OCBC branch, like leave applications, handling grumpy customers, arranging training partner for new employees, monthly performance review...quick normal managerial tasks.

Normally, most of daily work I can finish in 3-4 hrs, then I will have tea breaks as many as like.
