All before CPF deduction. I have a degree as well.

Am I considered average, under, or overpaid, as a normal farming singaporean citizen in my current situation(taking into account I probably wouldn't be able to earn salaries like those in investments)? Trying to find out so I can determine my next career move, or if I should stay at my current position until the economy recovers.

Looking forward to your replies, thank you.
Your job has OT pay? Not bad

It's definitely rare, but it does happen to US MNCs from what I've gathered.

Correction on the bonus, I meant about 12K, not 1.2K.

I'm 43. Head of a control function in a bank. Just got a promotion and now at 22kpm. Bonus this year was 4 months. Hence package approximately 350k

I spend a lot (especially watches) and only manage to save 3 to 4k per month.

Default working as a clinical research associate

i am working as a clinical research associate for a big pharma. my monthly salary is around 6.5k.life is tough because the lazy and irresponsible study coordinators in our public healthcare institutions are also so shameless, not doing their assigned tasks and ends up taking up my time to help them organize things.
