I can attest that no one in this thread is earning more than 4K on their first job after undergrad.

Can’t even hit >4k

agreed, only 6% of Singaporeans make >12k/mth... stop trying to smoke and bluff.

Lol you guys are fools.. it is a well known fact amongst finance students that a bulge bracket bank easily pays above 5k (even for back office, but not all BBs). Strategy& entry level already 6k+. IBD analyst around 5 figures too. Please stop living in your dream world saying that no one earns above 4k. Maybe its for your industry, but not for Law/Finance/Tech..

actually, everyone knows that. i also know specific numbers, but question is, are you the guy earning 5 figures in IBD? No, right? Don't be lame ah, this is a thread for those graduating in 2021... there's no need to pwn them with salaries.

Yeap I am graduating in 2021 and got a return offer from a BB lol. I'm just trying to tell the rest who are vehemently denying that there is NO WAY a fresh grad can earn >4k that it is possible. Are you one of them? LOLOL

Or maybe just stop being an asshole? It's great that your salary is that high, but some people in this forum are real people asking for real advice, and they are trying their best. Help if you can, otherwise silence is golden

Of course it is possible. But how many people can expect to command above 4k post-covid? As you've already mentioned, you got converted & you are not recruiting FT for 2021.

P.S. I got a return from a BB too.

And that's pre-COVID mind you.

That's not really true... the starting pay for NQ at the bigger firms (big4, dentons, some top-tier mid size) was at least $5k pre-COVID and i heard most still offer at least $5k now. given the number of people they hire its definitely at least 20-30% of law grads...

20-30% of law grads = what % of the total uni graduate pool? -.-

Just don't feed the trolls... nobody is saying that their claims are wrong, but that's not what this thread is about. So please just focus on the right things
