2022 - 69xx (3.5 months bonus)

Promotion quite quick in the last half year or so because my company was trying to align with market, and talent is generally in short supply in my sector. I've had more than four recruiters contact me from the start of this year, which I guess is an encouraging sign.

One of my colleagues left for a new role with at least a 30 - 40% increment, but given I'm quite happy with the work/autonomy/balance in my job I'm not sure I want to leave, especially with my current career trajectory.

Update 2 years later: left my old company for a new firm early 2023 with a pretty large jump in salary.

2019 - 4300 (1 month bonus) - no increment as joined 2nd half of 2018
2020 - 4900 (3 months bonus)
2021 - 5250 (Jan to Jun) / 5900 (Jul to Dec) (5 months bonus)
2022 - 69xx (3.5 months bonus)
2023 - 10000 (3.5 months based on 2022 salary)
2024 - 10500 (3.5 months)

Overall in 5 years more than doubled my salary so cannot complain - obviously there's people with higher
comp but i am genuinely quite happy doing what I do and see myself doing it for at least the next 5 years. Last post here since it's capped at 5 YOE! Hope this shows what's possible/realistic in Singapore for a non scholar/no-name overseas uni grad

All figures in annual total comp:

Y1 - 68k (1st job in Oil and Gas)
Y2 - 64k (Industry switch to tech role in banking)
Y3 - 97k (jumped to tech company)
Y4 - 110k
Y5 - 160k (promotion)
