NUS fresh grad comp science survey say its more than 5k.
Even higher than lawyer

Ya 5000 is a bit too low for programmer.

Starting pay for Fang in Singapore is 10k minimum

I am a stonestar

What kind of programmer? Software engineer, game developer, web developer, mobile developer, data analyst/engineer/scientist, machine learning engineer, QA or test developer, DevOps specialist, database administrator, cybersecurity engineer, system administrator?

Of course it's possible to earn 5k as a fresh grad. But the fact that you used programmer as a gauge in your question (extremely vague) means you are probably not the one going to get paid 5k imo.

fresh grad from where? IT industry u mean software engineering roles or other roles?

if software engineer roles then fresh grads from AUs 5k abit low ah, interns already getting 5k+ so u full time 5k means u are below average - that's the truth
