The pay increment is quite good despite you are only poly grad.
2700-1500 = 1200 in 6 years, mean each year annual increment is $200.

I am from local(GLC), starting 2900, after 3 years + 1 promotion = total increment less than $500, i some more is local degree holder......

$1.6k as an executive in a local bank in 2007

Now $2.8k as an analyst in the same bank.

Could probably get at least 4k basic if I move banks.

I'm in sales though...so basic doesn't really count for much

I think this is pretty ok pay. Have you compared yourself with those around you? Are you in a bank ?

3.5 years exp in GLC engineer

basic slightly less than $3400
annual is mid-50k.


I think compare to those work 3.5 years in the civil service(same age same years of exp), their basic is close to $4500, with better annual increment and better promotional increment. I lose out to them!!

That's a pretty good pay! How about your peers? Are they all getting around the same pay? What's your "guesstimate" of the average pay among all your peers?

That means your variable bonus is 5 months (excluding 1mth AWS). Thats very good bonus i must say.

I'm in the finance industry, started off in a global bank in mid 2007 but moved to another finance institution (not a bank) 1 year ago. Currently at $4400/mth basic. No AWS and VB is only around 2 months.
