Local diploma holder with cGPA 2.4, was looked down upon on and told by family i would be stuck with a $1.8k - $2k job for the rest of my life and have no future compared to my brother with NUS degree earning $10k. But I worked my ass off to prove to them within 5 years.

Salary is average compared to most here but I'm content with it. Can still splurge on myself from time to time. Gonna move to Canada next year still. This country is too competitive and stressful.

Cool story bro 💀

My salary (base) is 15k pa

2020 grad, VBA and python developer

2021 grad

local bank , non-tech role

2021 : 4.3gross (~63 total comp gross)
2022 : 4.5 (~68 total comp)
2023 : 4.9 (~75 total comp,hopefully)

Above average
Aim for 5.5 by 35 years old

75k total comp is pretty decent, above average. I foreign bank non-tech role drew less than 70k total comp after my 2nd year.

humble 2018 local C+ dip grad

2020 - 3k(1st job after ORD May20) no increment throughout but lucky had a job at the time
2022 - 3.8k (Changed in Feb 22)
2023 - 4.3k ( Changed Jul 23)
2024 so far - 5.4k ( Joined Jan 23)

after staying in my first job for 2 years, it seems that jumping around is just a lot easier o get increments, but going for interviews + applying is very sian.

tbh idk if it will hurt long term or not and if getting a part time topup degree will be useful.
