how much increment can i expect for avg performance?

not to put you down bro.

but 32 yr old means abt 7+ years of work experience only 4k?

that's really very low. even some fresh grads getting more than that.

what have you been doing for the past 7/8 yrs? stuck in a entry level role or did you take a major pay cut to teach?

Hi Bro, I also think 4k pm at age 32 is too low.

I am 30 years old. If I am getting 4k to teach, the company got to give me 10 months of bonus to match my current pay. I am not in a managerial role.

Me too! Here are my predictions:
RP to merge with NYP.
SP to merge with NP.
And TP stays independent.
Not a shock because looking at how it is right now, this will be in line with the declining birth rates.

Wow this forum all high flyer.

I believe people who talked about their networth / income are the more successful ones. Survivor bias?

I observed this behaviour in our class reunions. In our very first class reunion, quite a lot turned up as they were excited to catch up and see old friends.

After 2 such reunions, the number quickly dwindled down to below 15. And the few are the more successful ones in their careers/business. Now we dont have any more reunions but just small group gatherings. Among our class, as far as we know, 10 have retired, 3 have passed on, rest of us still working, and we are closing in on 62!

Do you all observe this among your friends, colleagues etc?

Hi, Is it true that SP only take in lecturers at the lowest grade and doesn’t really consider how much industry experience one has?

What is the latest salary range system for polytechnics and the respective salary range? Thanks.

It has been some time. No activity means give up already. For a good number of years they talk about review, from wonderful economy until recession. Looks like on hold indefinitely.

PB is out already, quite a drop. But it has been a tough year.

How much is the PB this year?

Is it a red flag if a particular poly has a lot of job posts (>25) on the gov portal currently? Or is it nothing to worry about.
